 S> There's more, but this should be be enough to keep you busy for a while.

   i.e. For the Amiga....

   Text editors that are dead easy:

   Ed, BEd, QEd, JEd, GoldEd, TextEngine and about 1000 more! =^) (Check the
Aminet text/edit if you don't believe me).

   Figlet:

   Can't remember where it is, tho' the Aminet is bound to have a copy as well
as any decent BBS. I also have it....somewhere. =^)

   Jive & Chef:

   Two decent text manipulators. They will alter your text for you so that you
could read in a file and it becomes "jived" or "swedish chef-erized" so to
speak! example:

   You: Hello there everyone!
  Jive: Hello dere everyone. Right On!
  Chef: Hellu zeere-a iferyune-a!

   Very good at times. You can read in whole text files and convert them just
to totally confuse someone! =^)

   There is also IFF2GreyAscii, IFF2Ascii, Gif2Ascii and a hundred and one
other conversion programs out there!

   Best bet...check Aminet. =^)

 Mad? Possibly.
