I need a text creating tool that can create multi-line strings of smart/large looking characters or objects.

Are these 9.0 only I dont find either figlet nor banner on 8.2? Where do you download them?

In 8.2 (Pro), do a search for them in YaST2 > Software > Install and Remove Software. There's figlet and xbanner. Or get them from here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.2/suse/i586/ SH
