<B>Banner</B>
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.
<P>
The output should be printed on paper of the appropriate width,
with no breaks between the pages.

<H2>BUGS</H2>
Several
<B>ASCII</B>
characters are not defined, notably &lt;, &gt;, [, ], \,
^, _, {, }, |, and ~. The same holds for all non
<B>ASCII</B>
characters.
Also, the characters &quot;, ', and &amp; are funny looking (but in a useful way.)
<P>
The
-<B>w</B>
option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
Sometimes it runs letters together.
<P>
Messages are limited to 1024 characters in length.
<P>
This program is called just banner on FreeBSD.
