.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B /usr/games/banner
|
||
|
|
[
|
||
|
|
.BI \-w n
|
||

|
||

|
message ...
|

|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I 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 standard input. If
|
||
|
|
.B \-w
|
||
|
|
is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to
|
||
|
|
.I n ,
|
||
|
|
suitable for a narrow terminal. If
|
||
|
|
.I n
|
||
|
|
is omitted, it defaults to 80.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns wide,
|
||
|
|
with no breaks between the pages. The volume is great enough that you
|
||
|
|
may want
|
||
|
|
a printer or a fast hardcopy terminal, but if you are patient, a
|
||
|
|
decwriter or other 300 baud terminal will do.
|
||
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \\,
|
||
|
|
^, _, {, }, |, and ~. Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny
|
||
|
|
looking (but in a useful way.)
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B \-w
|
||
|
|
option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
|
||
|
|
The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
|
||
|
|
Sometimes it runs letters together.
