This Amiga version is a little different from the original program. The argument parsing is changed to the AmigaDOS 2.0 "ReadArgs" style so that you can type "figlet ?" and you will see the following template: FONTNAME,DEUTSCH/S,CENTER/S,PARAGRAPH/S,COLUMNS/N,SMUSHMODE/N: You can specify the fontname (without using the keyword) and can specify any of the other keywords by putting the keyword on the command line. For example: FIGLET CENTER Use the default font and center the text. FIGLET smslant COLUMNS 40 Use the smslant font and set the column width to 40. (the keywords don't need to be upper case). Once you start the program, it will accept any input you type and print it's output back in the console. A handy use for this program is to run it in a console window and try the various options until you get the text you want, and then cut it from the console window and paste it into whatever program you want it in. As Figlet itself changes, I will try and keep this port current. The most current Amiga version will be found on Portal. This Amiga port is by Steve Tibbett, and I take all credit for any bugs in this version - if you find a problem, please send the bug report to me, not to the original authors. If it really is a problem with Figlet and not my port of it, then I will forward it to them.
