Maps

The Postscript version of the map includes all the tiles laid, in order, so you can reconstruct the moves if you really want. The images were created using Mac Ghostscript, saving as PICT, and then converted to GIF with GraphicConverter. If you want a really detailed look at the map, go with the Postscript.
