* FIGlet
    This great program makes ascii 'banners' from text.
    A few examples:
               _____ ___ ____ _      _
              |  ___|_ _/ ___| | ___| |_
              | |_   | | |  _| |/ _ \ __|
              |  _|  | | |_| | |  __/ |_
              |_|   |___\____|_|\___|\__|

    Various fonts are availiable (.flf files) and there are versions of
   FIGlet for almost any operating system and computer type:
       http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/chai/figlet.html
       ftp://nicoh.com/pub/figlet/

    The windows version of FIGlet, FigWin, is still only in beta and has a
   few bugs. Also, you dont always get the results you want without
   experimenting with the options first.  However it does have features
   not found in many other versions, like vertical smushing and weird line
   fitting.

    There are also many online, web based versions of FIGlet available
   also, one of which is http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/

    If you are a DOS user, you can get a GUI for DOS FIGlet at:
       http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/fdg.htm
   which should make the running of FigDOS easier.
    FIGlet+the GUI are also available from this page.

    If required, I will email FigDOS and the GUI in one zip file - just
   email mart.atkins at bigfoot.com and ask!


FIGlet would give you a good start at a sig... if after you have tried it
you would like some pics added post with some more precise wishes than just
'I would like a sig'.

Hope this helps,
-Martin
