This directory contains two programs:
 FIGWin -  (Beta copy) A Windows clone of FIGlet which includes vertical
           smushing capability.
              * NOTE: FIGWin, though it is FIGlet compatible, is NOT
                FIGlet. It is a different program by a different person
                that does the same thing, but with a Windows GUI.
 Anyfont - A small utility which converts ASCII art for proportional
           Windows fonts by inserting spaces into the art so that
           everything still lines up.
TO DOWNLOAD THESE PROGRAMS:

    Download: fgwnbeta.exe or anyfont.exe (whichever you want)
                      ...or...
              fgwnbeta.zip or anyfont.zip (if you prefer zipped format)
    ***ALSO***
    Check your computer.  If your computer has a file called vbrun300.dll
    in the \windows\system directory, you're fine.  If not, then you will
    also have to download:
              vbrun300.dll
                     ...or...
              vbrun300.zip (if you prefer zipped format)
    ***ALSO***
         If you don't have any FIGfont files and you want FIGWin, download
         a "starter set" from ftp://ftp.nicoh.com/pub/figlet/fonts/ours
TO INSTALL THESE PROGRAMS:
    Place vbrun300.dll in your \windows\system directory if you didn't
    already have it.
    IF YOU DOWNLOADED FIGWIN:
    Place fgwnbeta.exe in any directory you like.  Place FIGfont files
    (*.flf) in the same directory.
    IF YOU DOWNLOADED ANYFONT:
    Place anyfont.exe in any directory you like.
TO RUN THESE PROGRAMS:
    Just run the files, either fgwnbeta.exe or anyfont.exe!
TO UNINSTALL:
    Just delete the same files!  (You should probably leave vbrun300.dll
    in your \windows\system directory in case you download programs in
    the future which are written in Visual Basic 3.0 -- they won't run
    without it.)
