BANNER is a smart character rendering utility for - surprise -
     banners.  It can only be used from within the command line of a
     CLI or a SHELL. By default BANNER will print your string into the
     SHELL using an internal font which contains the ASCII characters
     from 32 (space) to 126 (overscore).  If you don't like them you
     can also tell BANNER to render the characters out of any other font
     that is accessable via the diskfont.library.

EXAMPLES
     Print the string 'banner' using the internal font

      1> banner banner

     will result in the following output

                   __
                  / /
                 / /___ ______ ______ ______ ______ _____
                / __  // __  // __  // __  // ____// .__/
               / /_/ // __  // / / // / / // __/_ / /
              /_____//_/ /_//_/ /_//_/ /_//_____//_/
