Figlet for Amiga ?

It's just my curiosity :  does a GUI-based version of Figlet exist for
Amiga ? If so, please, tell me where to find it. I've checked at the
official ftp-site, but there was just a shell-based one.

Thanks,

Hmm.. What kind of a GUI would you like, and why? Something like the 
WWW versions? I don't know if one already exists, (check Aminet) but
writing a simple GUI shouldn't be that hard.

It's been a while since I last wrote anything graphical for the Amiga,
but who knows, I might just try it when I have some spare time..

As far as I know there is no GUI based AmiFig... But I`m thinking of making
a GUI that serves as a 'front end' to the shell version...  If you like the
sound of this please EMail me :)

Hmm.. Maybe two windows, one with a text extry field, a scroll box for
picking a font, etc., and another with the resulting text.

Or maybe just a real simple one, using a file requester to pick the font.

: It's hard to release something like that ? Can you, maybe ?

Well, I've gotten a nasty case of cold, so there's not much else to do.
I'll have a look at the figlet sources this evening and see what it'd
take.

With  the shell-version you must enter by hand everytime the name of a
font,  and  that's  not  so  user-friendly  if  you don't have an idea
already of what font to use.

It's hard to release something like that ? Can you, maybe ?
