        !            30: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            31: .I Banner
        !            32: prints a large, high quality banner on the standard output.
        !            33: If the message is omitted, it prompts for and
        !            34: reads one line of its standard input.  If
        !            35: .B \-w
        !            36: is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to
        !            37: .I n ,
        !            38: suitable for a narrow terminal.  If
        !            39: .I n
        !            40: is omitted, it defaults to 80.
        !            41: .PP
        !            42: The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns wide,
        !            43: with no breaks between the pages. The volume is great enough that you 
        !            44: may want
        !            45: a printer or a fast hardcopy terminal, but if you are patient, a
        !            46: decwriter or other 300 baud terminal will do.
        !            47: .SH BUGS
        !            48: Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \\,
        !            49: ^, _, {, }, |, and ~.  Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny
        !            50: looking (but in a useful way.)
        !            51: .PP
        !            52: The
        !            53: .B \-w
        !            54: option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
        !            55: The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
        !            56: Sometimes it runs letters together.
