Question: How to decompress Figlet files
rec.arts.ascii
· 1 message · 20 Apr 1996
......................................................................
I read the following on the asciiart newsgroup. However I do not have
the system or ability to FTP through my server. A friend of mine was able
to download the two compressed files of "figlet" amd the fonts, but unable to
uncompress the files or locate the decompression files. Can you help us get
the decompression file? ............... wba...@heartland.bradley.edu

for all you's ppl who are lookin for banners/names/signatures/etc.
written in ascii art, there's a nice little program called figlet
available via anonymous ftp:
ftp to toybox.infomagic.com
cd to pub/Sources/utils
