I got a banner program from Info-Mac (version 1.2.2 by Jeffery G. Backes). 
 This one doesn't make any explicit ATM calls, since it works fine plain 
old bitmap fonts (you get jaggies of course).

Perhaps there's a different program that did originate at Adobe?  Or does 
it have additional features with ATM?

Another way to get huge text on the screen is to use MacDraw II and zoom 
in on the drawing.  MacDraw II doubles the font size when you zoom in, so 
you can get point sizes in the hundreds very easily.

P.S.  The Banner program also works fine with Royal.
