There are dozens of programs that I have seen, and so far, I have yet to
see any decent results. Perhaps some others have had better luck, but the
best thing I have ever seen a ascii program do is give an incredibly rough
outline for something, so you can still just rely on your skill to make it
legible.  So in the long run, the computer programs do nothing that you 
can't do yourself, given the drawing skill of a first grader.  (that seems
to be about the skill level I have seen most computerized ascii stuff,
unless you include huge things that take up 7 screens, and I don't) 
   Basically, practice. :)  If you want to rely on a program, you can really
only get figlets of quality out of them, and nothing else. (from what I have
seen)
