You can create huge titles/signatures with it, and even graphics if you download the right fonts for it. (Example: eftiwall.flf) The huge letters in my sig were created with figlet, the Sonic was found in this group previously, I think. Here's an example of eftiwall.flf: /\ _ _ ,---------------------------------------. / \/\ (_)-(_) | No, I'm not in the Mickey Mouse Club! | /`/ / \ (o o) _)--------------------------------------' ------------ooO--(_)--Ooo---------------------------------------- Cool, huh? Just string together the right symbols to make the graphic. That was %x>, where the % is mountains, the x is Mickey-Guy, and the > is an Enter-Text-Here balloon. -- ___------__ |\__-- /\ _- |/ __ - //\ / \ /__ Where there's a hedgehog, there's a way. | o| O|__ --_ ________ _____ __ __ ___ \\____-- __ \ ___- /_ __/ / ___ / ___/__ ___/ /__ / |/ /__ ____ (@@ __/ / /_ / / / _ \/ -_) / /__/ _ \/ _ / -_) /|_/ / _ `/ _ \ -_____--- --_ /_/ /_//_/\__/ \___/\___/\_,_/\__/_/ /_/\_,_/_//_/ // \ \\ ___- //|\__/ \\ \ codemanb@ix.netcom.com \_-\_____/ \-\ // \\--\| ____// ||_ /_____\ /___\
