[TALK] FIGlet for WINDOWS coming soon!

[TALK] FIGlet for WINDOWS coming soon!

Hello everyone!

I have written a clone of FIGlet.  Finally, a Windows version will soon be 
available.  It is compatible with both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.  (16-bit)

Functionally, it is finished.  I am still writing the help file and "tweaking 
it."  I expect to release it (yes, as FREEWARE) in September. 

"FigWin" will be compatible with 99% of Figlet 2 fonts.  (A few figlet fonts 
are designed to use characters which are not available with ANY windows 
program.)

NEW FEATURES:
    VERTICAL smushing! ("lines" of an image are smushed into preceeding 
lines)
    A full-featured font editor
    Easy access to the Windows clipboard
    Of course, an easy-to-use Windows interface

Evan though it doesn't officially "exist" yet, I've created a website for it. 
 It includes screen shots and just about anything you could ever want to 
know.

I'll keep you all informed of the progress of FigWin.

I have been in touch with Ian Chai, who does "customer service" for FIGlet. 
Consider this a public "thank you" for his help.
