Figlet is an ASCII Font Generator. Hard to explain.

The GIMP
Website: http://www.gimp.org/win32/
The GIMP is an advanced image editor. It is originally a Linux program
that has been ported to Windows. The GIMP has more capabilities than I can
describe here, but suffice it to say that is is a worthy challenger to Adobe
Photoshop. It has support for layers, filters, transparency, scripting,
and much, much more. With the latest version, it even has (experimental)
support for Photoshop-format plugins!
Hackman Hex Editor
Website: http://www.technologismiki.com/hackman/
HackMan is the best hex editor out there. It has support for file
compare, Unicode and ASCII search strings, hex offsets, and more. It
even includes it's own dissasembler!
HarmTile
Website: http://www.users.uswest.net/~sharman1/
HarmTile '99 is a simple image editing tool. It's main feature is
ability to rotate a seamless bitmap, and keep it seamless. I use it
to create tiling backgrounds for my Desktop.
IrfanView
Website: http://www.irfanview.com
This is a wonderful file viewer. With it you can view all of the better-known
file types out there, and several lesser-known ones. In addition, you
can perform some limited image editing, including file type conversion. I
recommend you also get the file all_plugins.exe when you get the main program.
Note: To view Quicktime movies with this, you need to click Options->Properties,
click the Video/Audio tab, then select "Use Quicktime plugin for MOV files".
You must install the Quicktime player prior to this, as the plugin uses the
codecs that this installs.
