There are several WEB BASED figlet word generators.
Go to http://www.yahoo.com/  and type in    figlet

You'll find several links to WORKING web pages where you just type your
words and select what 'style of text' you want, then click a button and
*poof* there it is in ascii art.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could give me the web
adress for the text to ascii generator. The one that currently works,
that is. I have misplaced the adress, and am having difficulties
finding the link. What I want to do is enter in a word, click a
button, and *poof* there is the ascii artword resembling that word.

Thankyou Kyndig
