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.
