[GreenKeys] program to make large letters from ascii, or ascii art

Hi folks:

Does anyone have a link to a program that makes large letters from ascii 
characters?  Something that lets me enter a string like "GREENKEYS" and 
have it generate an acsii file image of large characters -- like the 
3-inch-high chars the university line printers put at the beginning of my 
fortran job runs.

I am taking some tty machines to my cub scout meeting this afternoon (I am 
a den leader for eleven second graders), and I wanted to print a little 
greeting.  An ascii art file might be good too if anyone has a short one (I 
only have baudot ones here), but I thought the boys would like to see
HELLO
WOLF
DEN 4
print out in big letters as they are arriving.

It needs to be ascii, since I and sending to my M15 through my laptop's usb 
adapter, and it does not support 5-bit mode for heavymetal or rttyart.  But 
usb works just fine using HyperTerminal or other aciii terminal emulator 
(and letting TTY-Connect convert to baudot).  I can just do an ascii file 
transfer and let it go to town.

thanks in advance,

gil
