-- A simple banner program:                             Mark P Jones, 1992
--
-- Many years ago, I was helping out on a stand at a computer show.
-- Or at least, I would have been if anyone had been interested in
-- what we had on the stand.  So instead, I sat down to see if I
-- could write a banner program -- something to print messages out
-- in large letters.
--
-- The original program was in Basic, but here is a version in Hugs.
-- The program itself is only two lines long and that is rather pleasing,
-- but the raw data for the letters (and the function mapping characters
-- to letters) take up rather more space.  I don't have that Basic version
-- anymore.  I wonder whether the complete Hugs code is that much shorter?
--
-- One of the nice things about this program is that the main program is
-- completely independent of the size of characters.  You could easily add
-- a new font, perhaps with higher resolution (bigger letters), or even
-- variable width characters, and the program would take it all in its
-- stride.
--
-- If you have a wide screen (>80 cols), you might like to try evaluating:
--
--               (concat . map say . lines . say) "Hi"
--
-- and contemplating how easy it might have been to get my original
-- Basic version to perform this trick...
--
-- Enjoy!
