+.Sh NAME
+.Nm banner
+.Nd print large banner on printer
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl w Ar width
+.Ar message ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+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
+.Fl w
+is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to
+.Ar width ,
+suitable for a narrow terminal.
+.Pp
+The output should be printed on paper of the appropriate width,
+with no breaks between the pages.
+.Sh BUGS
+Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably \*[Lt], \*[Gt], [, ], \\,
+^, _, {, }, |, and ~. Also, the characters ", ', and \*[Am] are funny
+looking (but in a useful way.)
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl w
+option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
+The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
+Sometimes it runs letters together.
