----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AscE is a Ansi and Ascii Large character generator, you type some text and
AscE will convert it into cool ansi or ascii characters which were drawn by
Me (Linds) and AnF!...

AscE now returns the CLI process from which it was started.

Menus...

        Project....

              Save To... : This option will save generated AscE text to a
                           file you choose with the file requestor which
                           will pop up. WARNING it doesn't merge text, it
                           WILL overwrite any file you select.
                           This menu option will be disabled if the asl
                           library cannot be opened (you will be informed of
                           this when the program starts if it cannot find
                           the asl library).
                           An error box will appear telling you there is
                           no text entered if you attempt to use this option
                           when no text has been entered in the boxs.

             Test   ... : This option will output the generated AscE text to
                          a custom output window.
                          An error box will appear telling you there is
                          no text entered if you attempt to use this option
                          when no text has been entered in the boxs.

             About  ... : This option will tell yer some info and greet some
                          cool dudz etc..

             Quit   ... : Very dodgy option, if you use this your computer
                          will explode and smash in to a zillion pieces and
                          one will hit yer in the face and cause 32% burns
                          and you will be rushed to hospital in a blue and
                          white ambulence and a nice nurse with BIGG eyes
                          (hehe) will grab hold of you and slap yer about
                          until yer wake up and relalise it was all a dream,
                          phew...... only bulling it dare i say it.. Quits
                          the program (don't do it please.....)..

        Font ...

            The options on this menu will change the font, when you change to
            a font which can only fit say 6 chars on the output window, but it
            lets yer enter seven, the last character will be deleted..
            At this version there are the following fonts....

              Original Font (Upper Case)

              Original Font (Lower Case)

              Anf's Ascii Font

              Anf's Ansi Font


Gadgets....

      Text String 1... to Text String 4...

        You enter text to be converted into AscE text into here, and then
        click on Test etc.. to generate it.. if yer type more than 7 chars
        it won't let yer type anymore (hehe), if you test etc.. wiv seven
        characters on and you have one ov Anfs fonts selected (which can
        only fit 6 across the output) the last character will be deleted at
        the time of testing etc and the gadgets text modified automatically
        next time yer click on it, also if you type any other character than
        A-Z or a-z it will be changed in to a space at time of testing etc.
        then the text will be changed automatically when yer click on the
        gadget again. if you type in upper case it will be converted auto-
        matically to lower case at time of testing etc.. and the text will
        be changed automatically next time yer click on the gadget.. phew..
