NAME

4     vert-banner — print large banner on printer
5

SYNOPSIS

7     vert-banner [-w width] message ...
8

DESCRIPTION

10     vert-banner prints a large, high quality banner on the standard output.
11     If the message is omitted, it prompts for and reads one line of its stan‐
12     dard input.  If -w is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of
13     132 to width, suitable for a narrow terminal.
14
15     The output should be printed on paper of the appropriate width, with no
16     breaks between the pages.
17

BUGS

19     Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \, ^, _, {,
20     }, |, and ~.  Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny looking (but in
21     a useful way.)
22
23     The -w option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.  The
24     smaller it gets, the grainier the output.  Sometimes it runs letters
25     together.
