BIGLTR is a small batch file utility to aid in displaying large
video signs or front end announcments. BIGLTR will display up to
10 characters on CGA or MONO systems (more on EGA & VGA). BIGLTR
removes trailing (not leading) spaces. BIGLTR makes characters
using a 9x8 grid for each character displayed (9 lines by 8
columns).

EXAMPLE:
ECHO OFF
CLS
BIGLTR ANNOUNCING
LOCATE 12 1 {Move cursor to next line}
BIGLTR SEBFU
LOCATE 24 1
PAUSE
{start application}
The above would clear the screen then display the two lines
ANNOUNCING
SEBFU
In very large characters. The last two lines move the cursor to
line 24 (of 25, near the screen bottom) and display a prompt for
the user to press a key to continue. Additional lines may be
added to make additional advertising or to start an application.
