This is a Macintosh port of the FIGlet Unix/Linux command to make text
from ASCII fonts.
Included are 57 .flc ASCII fonts files one can choose to have
beautiful ASCII titles.
Following is the author's note on this Mac port :
This is a *really* quick hack. I'm doing this because so many people
have requested it, and yet nobody else has ported it to the Mac.
I am a Mac user myself, but I always ran FIGlet on my UNIX host. I
didn?t see the need for a Mac version, as I thought FIGlet is
unnecessary on the Mac since we have nice fonts when using a Mac
already and don?t have to resort to the FIGlet solution.
However, it?s been pointed out that FIGlet is useful for Email and
Usenet and if you do your Email with Eudora or something like that,
you?d never run anything in a UNIX shell? Ok, so to satisfy y?all,
here?s a really quick hack solution. If you?d like to do a better
port, please do! Get the UNIX source from ftp.nicoh.com and when
you?re done, drop me an email and I?ll be glad to make your port
available in place of mine.
Sorry, no nice Mac GUI, but at least you can run FIGlet and copy the
thing over to Eudora and paste it there.
God bless,
