Short: Makes banners using any system font Author: jarno@kcbbs.gen.nz (Jarno van der Linden) Uploader: jarno kcbbs gen nz (Jarno van der Linden) Type: util/cli Requires: Kickstart 2.0 (v36) Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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. ---JvdL---
