This is an old program around called Banner, which makes banners  on the 
imagewriter.  (Boy, does it eat up ribbons!)  I don't know whether it
is public domain or not.  (No, I didn't steal my copy!  It was on a
disk with a bunch of public-domain utilities, but banner had a
copyright notice, so I haven't used it since trying 
it out, and don't want to send it to Mr. Macks.)  Does anyone know the
status of this program?
