 It's already been done by someone named Jeffrey Backes. I believe the
latest version can be had on Compu$erve (I have version 1.2.2, created
Nov. 30th, 1989.) This program (when used with ATM) gives you characters
up to 480 points in size, and 1-3 lines of text. You can also paste PICTs
into your banner and freely position/resize them, which is very nice.
