.sig and other things

alt.ascii-art · 2 messages · 13 May 1994 - 13 May 1994
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.

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.
