Many people have asked me for a copy of Figlet and so I've put it and
related software for anonymous ftp at
        cedar.cs.uiuc.edu:/frosty/downloads/figlet
Cedar is an "unsupported" machine, so if you find that you can't ftp to
it, it probably means it went down and I have to go reboot it, so just
email me if so.

There is also FIGLET-L, a mailing list for both updates and discussions
about figlet. If you want to be notified of updates to the Figlet
software, email
        LIS...@vmd.cso.uiuc.edu
with the body of the email saying
        subscribe figlet-l your full name
        set figlet-l topics=SOFTWARE
where "your full name" should be your full name.

If you want to know about new fonts as well, then it should say
        subscribe figlet-l your full name
        set figlet-l topics=SOFTWARE,FONTS

If you want to be in on everything, including discussions, then just
        subscribe figlet-l your full name
will do the trick.

Remember not to post any discussions under SOFTWARE or FONTS. In fact,
you should never post under SOFTWARE -- it is for "official" releases.
You can post any new nifty software you write for figlet on the normal
discussion, and if I decide to put it in the "official" distribution,
I'll post a notice to SOFTWARE and make it available for ftp.
