Re: My first ASCII!!

The section of the FAQ about FIGlet:

4. Can someone do my name / these words in ASCII, please? 

     Probably not, unless we're REALLY bored. The reason for
     this is that there is a program called Figlet which does
     that sort of thing automatically -- you type in `Jane Smith',
     and you get back 

         ___              __,               
        ( /              (          o _/_ / 
         / __,  _   _     `.  _ _  ,  /  /_ 
       _/_(_/(_/ /_(/_  (___)/ / /_(_(__/ /_
      //                                    
     (/                                     

     in this and a whole lot of other fonts (lettering styles).
     The ASCII text-art produced by Figlet can be quite stunning,
     so it's best to try it first before asking for help from
     the newsgroup.

     The Figlet home page is at       
http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/chai/figlet.html. 
     This site links to the FTP site
      ftp://nicoh.com/pub/figlet/ , 
     where you can download versions of the program for 
     many different platforms.

     If you have a Web browser which has form support (most
     browsers do), you can run Figlet on the Internet by going to
     one of the following sites and choosing your text and options
     on the Web page. Different sites offer different options (eg
     multiple fonts at once, justification, line length etc). Some
     of these sites also provide an e-mail Figlet service for 
     people with browsers which don't support forms.

     (Thanks to Shimrod and Veronica Karlsson for the original list.)

     If Figlet doesn't produce the kind of results you want,
     THEN you can post to alt.ascii-art with your request. Make
     sure that you include:

          a) the fact that you have already tried Figlet,
             or don't have access to it 
             (otherwise you will probably just get told to use it) 
          b) a description of the kind of lettering you want,
             along with any other symbols or logos which you
             would like incorporated into it.
