FTP Note, figlet release 2.1.1, 16 September 1996
-------------------------------------------------
UNIX source code available at
ftp://ftp.nicoh.com/pub/figlet/program/unix/figlet2.1.2.tar.gz
Note: figlet 2.1.2 is a minor revision of figlet 2.1.1. The files
README, FTP-NOTE, figlet.c and figlet.6 have been changed. All other
files are identical with the 2.1.1 release.
These changes were made by Gilbert Healton <ghe...@nmia.com> as Glenn
Chappell is now busy as a new professor of Mathematics.
For those making figlet 2.1.2 available by anonymous FTP: please put
the version number (2.1.2) in the filename, so that FTP'ers can know
they're not getting the same program they already have.
Also, for those who maintain archives of figlet fonts, please note that
all of the standard fonts have been changed, as of release 2.1, to
include non-ASCII characters. These fonts are the following:
big.flf
block.flf
bubble.flf
digital.flf
lean.flf
mini.flf
script.flf
shadow.flf
slant.flf
small.flf
smscript.flf
smshadow.flf
smslant.dld
standard.flf
term.flf
The new versions of these fonts can be identified by the words "figlet
release 2.1" somewhere in the first few lines. These fonts are
included in the standard figlet 2.1.2 package, and are also available by
anonymous FTP from "ftp.nicoh.com", in directory "pub/figlet/fonts/ours".
