Program BannerC;

{$V-}

{ Written by Scott R. Houck

  This program produces banners which can be sent to the screen
  or to a file.  If sent to a file, the output may be appended to
  to an existing file if desired.

  The syntax is as follows:

    BANNER [/B=banner] [/I=infile] [/O=outfile [/A]] [/C=char]

  where

    banner  = a character string of maximum length 10
    infile  = an input file containing the banner(s)
    outfile = an output file to which the banner(s) will be written
    char    = character to be used in printing the banner
                (default = the character being printed)

         /A = append to file if it already exists


  NOTES:

    1.  Options may be specified in any order, but there must be
        at least one space between each one.  Do not put spaces
        on either side of the equals sign.

    2.  You may use PRN for the filename if you want to send the
        output to the printer. If you choose to do this, do not
        use the /A option.

    3.  To indicate a space in the banner when using the /B option, use
        the carat symbol (^).  Example:  BANNER /O=DISKFILE /B=JOHN^DOE
        However, this is not necessary if you are using the /I option.

    4.  Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, and !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]
        Any other characters will be printed as a space.

    6.  All lower case letters are converted to upper case.

    7.  Three blank lines are written before the banner is output.

    8.  Note that /B and /I are mutually exclusive and will produce a
        syntax error if used together.

    9.  If all options are omitted or if the command line does not contain
        either /B or /I, the command syntax is printed.

   10.  /A will produce a syntax error if used without /O.

   11.  You may not use < or > with the /B option because DOS would
        interpret it as redirection of standard input and output.
