I seem to recall a public domain or shareware program that would take 
ASCII text and turn it into large artsy letters. I don't remember 
the name of the tool. Can anyone QUICKLY remind me of it?

Please respond by email.

For every reaction, there is a foul smell.

Hi Y`all;

Maybe one - or all of the following, might fill the bill for you if you
can locate them!=20

=09AUTOFONT (v3.5 ?) - Improves appearance of Doc Titles,
words/phrases, announcements, bulletins, etc.

=09MAGICFONT - Same as AUTOFON but adds color to screen.

=09MAGICSHOW/MAGICVIEW - Use with AUTOFONT.=20

=09AUTODOC - Creates text filer for display in color/momo and framed
with ASCII graphic borders. Print or use in slide show.

I saw these in a Software Labs Catalog (shareware) over a year ago but
before I could order them I had to take a trip to Texas with a days notice
and didn't get home until over three months later. By that time Software
Labs had a new catalog out with no listing for them.  I tried searching
the net some time ago but didn't come up with anything. If anyone has
these hows-about posting them in an appropriate news group (?) with a
pointer here or E-mail them to me. If anyone knows their where-abouts
please let us hear from you.
