+.SH NAME
+banner \- print large banner on printer
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B /usr/games/banner
+[
+.BI \-w n
+]
+message ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Banner
+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
+.B \-w
+is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to
+.I n ,
+suitable for a narrow terminal.  If
+.I n
+is omitted, it defaults to 80.
+.PP
+The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns wide,
+with no breaks between the pages. The volume is great enough that you 
+may want
+a printer or a fast hardcopy terminal, but if you are patient, a
+decwriter or other 300 baud terminal will do.
+.SH BUGS
+Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \\,
+^, _, {, }, |, and ~.  Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny
+looking (but in a useful way.)
+.PP
+The
+.B \-w
+option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
+The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
+Sometimes it runs letters together.
