     banner7(1)                                             banner7(1)



     NAME
          banner7 - print large banner on printer

     SYNOPSIS
          banner7 [-wn] message ...

     DESCRIPTION
          banner7 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 n, suitable for a
          narrow terminal.  If n is omitted, it defaults to 80.

          The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to
          132 columns wide, with no breaks between the pages.  The
          volume is enough that you want a printer or a fast hardcopy
          terminal.

     BUGS
          Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [,
          ], \, ^, _, {, }, |, and ~.  Also, the characters ", and &
          are funny looking (but in a useful way.)

          The -w flag option is implemented by skipping some rows and
          columns.  The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
          Sometimes it runs letters together.
