Where is `banner'?

Where is `banner'?

[Amin]

Hi,

I'm using Red Hat Linux 8.0 and I just noticed --- I don't have
`banner', the old Unix tool for creating large characters out of small
ones.  Anyone have any idea where I can get it?

Thanks in advance,
Yawar Amin

Don't know about banner but you can find Figlet here -
http://www.figlet.org/

It's pretty much the same functionality.

Wow, this is great!  And I'd gone and written a `banner.pl' with the Perl Text::Banner
module!  Just goes to show ... if you can't find the original, don't rewrite it ---
find something better!

Thanks!
