Short: Makes banners using any system font
Uploader: jarno@kcbbs.gen.nz (Jarno van der Linden)
Author: jarno@kcbbs.gen.nz (Jarno van der Linden)
Type: util/cli
Requires: Kickstart 2.0 (v36)
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.
