Banner

This program creates a large banner on a terminal of any message you input. The letters may be any dimension of you wish although the letter height plus distance from left-hand side should not exceed 6 inches. Experiment with the height and width until you get a pleasing effect on whatever terminal you are using.

This program was written by Leonard Rosendust of Brooklyn, New York.

Porting Notes

  • The "SET PAGE" input, stored in O$, has no effect. It was probably meant as an opportunity for the user to set their pin-feed printer to the top of the page before proceeding.

  • The data values for each character are the bit representation of each horizontal row of the printout (vertical column of a character), plus one. Perhaps because of this +1, the original code (and some of the ports here) are much more complicated than they need to be.

(please note any difficulties or challenges in porting here)
