                     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.
