.sig and other things

I'm trying to come up with a nice 4-line .sig, just so I can fit within the standards. :) Also, I'm intersted in doing some of my own ascii alphabets, but I don't know how. I've heard of a program called figlet. Is this available for Unix? Where can I get it? Thanks in advance. -- +-------------------------------------------------------+ | /\ Joel R.

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. -- Normand Veilleux nve...@emr1.emr.ca ----------------------------
