help using figlet

Hello everyone!!

I have just download Figlet to my account at the University and am not to sure
how to use it. I am using a Unix based computer and am not sure how to load
Figlet. I guess I would be able to figure out how to use it once I had it
running but I can't even get it runing. Any help would be much appreciated
Thanx in advance
Scott

      It was not the apple on the tree but the pair on the ground that
                   caused the problem in the garden!!

  Erm..  I think you need to get the source and compile it on your
platform, then install it for yourself (In your shell I guess.. I
installed it on my linux for the whole system :)
