NAME

     banner -- print large banner on printer

SYNOPSIS

     banner [-d] [-t] [-w width] message ...

DESCRIPTION

     Banner prints a large, high quality banner on the standard output.  If the message is omitted, it prompts for and reads one line of its stan-
     dard input.

     The output should be printed on paper of the appropriate width, with no breaks between the pages.

     The following options are available:

     -d      Enable debug.

     -t      Enable trace.

     -w width
	     Change the output from a width of 132 to width, suitable for a narrow terminal.

BUGS

     Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], , ^, _, {, }, |, and ~.  Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny looking
     (but in a useful way.)

     The -w option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.  The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.  Sometimes it runs letters
     together.

     Messages are limited to 1024 characters in length.
