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.
