+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Banner
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
-.B \-w
-is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to
-.I n ,
-suitable for a narrow terminal. If
-.I n
-is omitted, it defaults to 80.
-.PP
-The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns wide,
-with no breaks between the pages. The volume is great enough that you
-may want
-a printer or a fast hardcopy terminal, but if you are patient, a
-decwriter or other 300 baud terminal will do.
-.SH BUGS
+If the message is omitted, it prompts for and reads one line of its

+is given, the output is changed from a width of 132 to

+.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 <, >, [, ], \\,
-^, _, {, }, |, and ~. Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny
-looking (but in a useful way.)

+Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny looking (but in a useful way.)
+.Pp
The
-.B \-w
+.Fl w
option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
Sometimes it runs letters together.
