NAME
banner - print large banner on printer
SYNOPSIS
banner [-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 standard
input. If -w is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132
to width, suitable for a narrow terminal.
The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns
wide, with no breaks between the pages.

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.
