I just recieved this on CNet Shareware dispatch:
MODERN ART
Email may be the Internet's true killer application, but its lack of
image support imposes severe limitations where creativity is concerned.
SigZag offers a terrific enhancement to your stark email, enabling you to
end every message with a personalized ASCII art signature. There are
7,000 prepackaged pieces of ASCII art from which to choose, including
animals, comics, transportation, and mythical creatures. SigZag also lets
you select from thousands of tag lines and design your own ASCII images
with its assortment of Figlet fonts. With the program's graphical
interface, you can even create entire ASCII texts, embedding pictures
throughout the body of your messages. Included with SigZag is Sliver, a
helper utility that lets you quickly scan all the ASCII art included with
the application. In addition, you'll find a library editor that enables
you to distribute your own custom libraries.
FACT FILE:
Program name: SigZag
Version: 99b
Size: 2.4MB
Developed by: James Dill
License: freeware
Requirements: Windows 95/98/NT
Give it a happy ending:

Was this the program that caused a huge copyright arguement about a
half-year ago when it's author (Kangaroo?) wanted to include ASCII Art and
charge for the program? Nice to see that it ended up free... If I had a
decent speed net connection I'd download it just to see whose ASCII Art is
included, but 2.4MB is a bit hefty for me unless I do it at work.
Anyone else want to try it?
