Banner not displaying full content
HI,

while using banner command, i am not getting the full content in the screen:
Code:
banner "UNIX AUTOMATION"
#     # #     #   ###   #     #            #    #     # ####### ####### #     #
#     # ##    #    #     #   #            # #   #     #    #    #     # ##   ##
#     # # #   #    #      # #            #   #  #     #    #    #     # # # # #
#     # #  #  #    #       #            #     # #     #    #    #     # #  #  #
#     # #   # #    #      # #           ####### #     #    #    #     # #     #
#     # #    ##    #     #   #          #     # #     #    #    #     # #     #
 #####  #     #   ###   #     #         #     #  #####     #    ####### #     #

"ATION" is missing. How to make it to display the whole content?

Thanks.

My operating system is SunOS4,

Thanks

In man banner
Code:
DESCRIPTION

     in large letters on the standard output.

It's not by default, it's by design. See "man banner".

There are several hundred commands in unix. Are you going to question the function of every command I wonder?
