This message contains the script "bigfig". Notes on how to use it are in
the script itself. In short: install the font "bigfig.flf", make the
script "bigfig" executable, then use bigfig exactly the same way you'd
use figlet.

An explanation of what bigfig does can be found in the previous message,
with subject "bigfig #1-intro".

The font, "bigfig.flf" is in the next message, with subject
"bigfig #3-font".

#
# Enlarges figlet output 3X (or more).
# Requires "bigfig.flf" (or some other mono-spaced figlet font).
#
# Usage:
# Use just like figlet, e.g., instead of "figlet -cf small", type
# "bigfig -cf small".
#
# Requires figlet 2.1 or later for -t & -w options.
# Uses 80 cols in figlet 2.0.
#
# Note: You can avoid this script completely if you want.  Just type
# figlet -w27 -f myfavoritefont | figlet -f bigfig

FONT="bigfig"
FACTOR=3

# In general, FONT should be the name of a *mono-spaced* figlet font,
# and FACTOR should be the width of its characters.  The usual settings
# are
#
# FONT="bigfig"
# FACTOR=3
#
# but any mono-spaced figlet font can be used.  For example, if you
# have the Kirk/Gras "3x5" font, you can achieve a very different
# effect by changing the above two lines to
#
# FONT="3x5"
# FACTOR=4
#
# Similarly, to use von Laudermann's "lcd" font, change the lines to
#
# FONT="lcd"
# FACTOR=6
#
# Both of these fonts (3x5.flf and lcd.flf) are available by anonymous
# FTP from "ftp.nicoh.com". Look in the directory "pub/figlet/fonts".

# Set up PATH so figlet can be found
DIRSAVE=`pwd`
cd `(dirname "$0") 2>/dev/null`
PATH="$PATH":`pwd`
cd "$DIRSAVE"

# Get figlet version
FIGLETVERSION=`figlet -I1 2>/dev/null`
if [ -z "$FIGLETVERSION" ]; then
  FIGLETVERSION=20000

if [ $FIGLETVERSION -lt 20100 ]; then
  # figlet 2.0
  # WID below is the screen width (figlet 2.0 only).
  WID=80
  SWITCH=""
else
  # figlet 2.1 or later
  WID=`figlet $* -I4`
  SWITCH="-L"
