This is not the final stable release, since there are still a few things
not finished. You can now help me sorting out problems and
inconveniences - any comments are welcome.
Just like the previous release the program runs on any system with a
Java Runtime Environment 1.4 (or greater) installed (available for free
at http://java.sun.com/getjava/).
Unzip the jfiglet02.zip file to a new folder and start the program by
double clicking the jfiglet.jar or by typing
java -jar jfiglet.jar
on the command line.
I also recommend downloading the current FIGlet Fonts Library from
http://www.jave.de/figlet/fonts.html and installing it into the fonts
folder of your JFIGlet installation (Hint: You also can install JFIGlet
into your JavE installation folder).

Here is the relevant part of the document: > STANDARDIZED CAPABILITIES OF CURRENT AND FUTURE FIGDRIVERS > ============ ============ == ======= === ====== ========== > > We assert the following as the "Law" of our intentions: ... > FIGDRIVER NAMES > > Future FIGdrivers must be named to include capitalized "FIG" and shall > have an incremental version number specific to its own platform. So I think JFIGlet should be the official name of the tool, while Jiglet is a very nice nickname.
