To get something like this:

____   ____                         .__               
\   \ /   /___________  ____   ____ |__| ____ _____   
 \   Y   // __ \_  __ \/  _ \ /    \|  |/ ___\\__  \  
  \     /\  ___/|  | \(  <_> )   |  \  \  \___ / __ \_
   \___/  \___  >__|   \____/|___|  /__|\___  >____  /
              \/                  \/        \/     \/ 

or this:

__   __                _         
\ \ / /__ _ _ ___ _ _ (_)__ __ _ 
 \ V / -_) '_/ _ \ ' \| / _/ _` |
  \_/\___|_| \___/_||_|_\__\__,_|
                                 
or some other "ascii art font", try one of these:

http://mediacube.datacom.de/cgi-bin/moniteurs/figlet
http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/
ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet
http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/chai/figlet.html
http://www.inf.utfsm.cl/cgi-bin/figlet

They are sites with a program called "Figlet" that "translates"
ordinairy
text to text "painted" as ascii art.

This is a newsgroup for ASCII art created in the accepted
fixed-width spacing.  ASCII does NOT include the
"fancy" characters created by using the alt-key and the
alphanumeric keyboard.

Your question is AOL related...  take it to proper channels at
AOL--  Macro people "hang out" in the macro chat rooms.. a bulletin
board is at MomsOnline- Games Folder
