I've fixed some minor problems with the way that it sits in pkgsrc,
and also fixed some more general problems with it, so it's now on
version 1.1. Might as well go with that one instead of 1.0.
Reset maintainer on previous maintainer's request.

map-browse is a simple, hackish toy that I threw together a few years
ago as a tool to aid me in diagnosing bogus coordinate data in a
(non-graphical) MUD.
The "rooms" in the mud had pathnames, sizes, "zones", and 3D coordinate
data, as well as links to other rooms. Links could be obvious or non-
obvious. I collected this subset of data for about 8,000 to 8,500 rooms,
allowing me to analyze bad connections, misplaced rooms, etc., using
a visual exploration.
A 3-button mouse, preferably with scroll-wheel, is strongly recommended.
One small, hand-written sample data file is provided, and an Octave
.m file is also provided which generates 3D data based on the
iteration of a complex function applied at a few points in the complex
plane near 1+0i.
It can be modified, used as a basis perhaps for a game, toyed with
as-is, etc.
