Well, I'm not a builder either, I'm more of a coder, and I think that an automap Would be useful as long as it doesn't take up much space.

When I wrote an automapper, All it did was loop for two rooms recursively in each direction and then printed the room description side-on to the map. So, the extra scoll was the number of characters not the number of lines the map comprised.

The major drawback to this was that the code to format the room descriptions is a little insane, but that's better than reformatting all the area files.
