  Howdy, I was just wondering what you suggest I use to capture the fonts 
that Figlet makes?  I tried THEGRAB.EXE, but that is only for ascii.  I 
just want a practical way to capture fonts to put it into a normal text 
file.  Any sugesstions out there?

P.S.: As always, I'd like to
      thank Mrs. Bilviachki
      for the cabbage rolls
      and coffee.

	Why not just output the results of figlet to a textfile? Do 
'figlet -f whatever > output.txt' and anything you type into figlet will 
be outputted to that file. Make sure you end your input with Ctrl-Z (^Z) 
though. Hope that helps..

	Also, I thought the fonts figlet made WERE ascii. Aren't they?
