Oh, Joan, stop teasing!

Maayan -- you're probably talking about Figlet.

    The Figlet home page is at
    http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/chai/figlet.html. This site links
    to the FTP site ftp://ftp.internexus.net/pub/figlet/, where you can
    download versions of the program for  many different platforms.

    If you have a Web browser which has form support (most browsers
    do), you can run Figlet on the Internet by going to one of the
    following sites and choosing your text and options on the Web page.
    Different sites offer different options (eg multiple fonts at once,
    justification, line length etc). Some of these sites also provide
    an e-mail Figlet service for people with browsers which don't
    support forms.

Hi.

I think the program you are looking for is FIGlet.

World wide web based online versions:
    *    http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/
    *    http://wwwcn.cern.ch/~rigaut/FigletJava.html
    *    http://www.schnoggo.com/figlet.html
    *    http://www.inf.utfsm.cl/cgi-bin/figlet/
    *    http://saigon.mit.edu/dinhyen/figlet/figlet.html
    *    http://www.mediacube.de/cgi-bin/moniteurs/figlet/
    *    http://www.sconnect.net/figlet/index.cgi
    *    http://boulder.Colorado.EDU/~kai/figlet.html
    *    http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/cgi-bin/bwagner/FIGLET/figlet.pl
    *    http://www.se.cuhk.edu.hk/~mcchau3/cgi-bin/express.html
    *    http://www.webserve.com/gateways/figletgateway.pl.

Downloadable run from your hard drive versions from:
    *    http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/chai/figlet.html

and a GUI for the MS-DOS version of FIGlet:
    *    http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/fdg.htm
           (v1.08 is corrupted I think, go for one of the v1.07 links)
