A small clarification:  FIGLET will not help you to make your own ascii 
alphabets.  Rather, once you have created a new alphabet and that the 
alphabet is setup in a format that FIGLET understands, then FIGLET will let 
you convert a string of characters into your alphabet very easily.

Although there is a FIGLET font with my name on it, the figletization was 
done by someone else.  I do not have a copy of FIGLET, but if you check 
the FAQ (posted here weekly) it will tell you where to get it.
