Question: How to make Figlet run

Question: How to make Figlet run

Hi--

I just recently FTP'd figlet from the site at ftp.nicoh.com and after all 
the uncompressing, 'tar'ring, etc. I thought I was ready to get my large 
letting. Problem: I'm trying to use the program on UNIX, but I can't seem 
to get the program to run. The file seems to be ready to be used, but 
something, I think, is lacking. Could someone please inform me on how to 
get this to work? It's form now looks like 'figlet2.1.1' in my 
directory.
Appreciate your help...

Joel
