I have fixed the Purdue link. For some reason the port number was incorrect. It works now. SITES: http://gagme.wwa.com/~boba/sites.html >saves a lot of trouble unless you >are going to do this on a regular basis. Yes, the Figlet servers are great. The reason you would want to set up Figlet on your own system is if you felt you wanted to gather every last font. The first Figlet server on the list has the most fonts, the second and third have less fonts. These servers are great for most needs. While I have Figlet and most all known fonts here for my use, I find I use the servers in most instances, they are just quicker to access and easier to use. -- .:ooooo. .d88888888" .88P" *" '88b:. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...
