.Ar message ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm 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
If the message is omitted, it prompts for and reads one line of its
standard input.
If
.Fl w
is given, the output is changed from a width of 132 to
.Ar n ,
suitable for a narrow terminal.
.Pp
The output should be printed on paper of the appropriate width,
with no breaks between the pages.
.Sh BUGS
Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \\,
^, _, {, }, |, and ~. Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny
looking (but in a useful way.)
.PP
^, _, {, }, |, and ~.
Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny looking (but in a useful way.)
.Pp
The
.B \-w
.Fl w
option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
Sometimes it runs letters together.
