  I made this program some years ago. It's just your average banner
  printer. It can use any font and size that the system can read, can
  print sideways and horizontal, aligns left, centre, and right using
  a given line length, and can use any char for drawing text and
  background.


  Usage: TEXT/A,SIZE/N,FONT,SIDE=SIDEWAYS/S,UP=UPRIGHT/S,
         LEFT/S,CENTER=CENTRE/S,RIGHT/S,WIDTH/K/N,
         CHAR/K,FILLCHAR/K,FILL/S,NOFILL/S

  TEXT/A
    The text to output as a banner
  SIZE/N
    Font size to use
  FONT
    The name of the font to use (".font" extension optional)
  SIDE=SIDEWAYS/S
    Draw banner on its side (usefull for output to printer with chain
    paper)
  UP=UPRIGHT/S
    Draw banner horizontally
  LEFT/S
    Output flushed left
  CENTER=CENTRE/S
    Centre output, determined by WIDTH setting
  RIGHT/S
    Flush output right, determined by WIDTH setting
  WIDTH/K/N
    Output width to use for centre and right output
  CHAR/K
    Character to use for drawing text
  FILLCHAR/K
    Character to use for drawing background
  FILL/S
    Use FILLCHAR character to fill up space created by centre and
    right flushing
  NOFILL/S
    Opposite of the FILL flag


  The default settings are taken from "Banner_Def" in the ENV: dir.
  It's format is just an argument string as you would pass to the
  banner program (including a dummy value for the TEXT argument).

  One known problem: fill with left flushed output does not fill to
  the full width specified by WIDTH.
  If you want to fix it you can, as I've included to source code.
