To build:

make

To use:

./newbern [file.dat arg]

Try:

./try.sh

Judges’ remarks:

The program is formatted using the same font glyphs as the example data file.

Author’s remarks:

This is a configurable banner(1)-like program.

Examples:

• To convert a character glyph into a data file:

./newbern char < some_nicely_shaped_text >> data_file

• To print a string using glyphs from a data file:

./newbern data_file a_string

Extra functionality

The program can also act as a Morse encoder, unarguably.

It also has double-super-secret encryption capabilities. Decryption is left as an exercise for the reader.

Portability

The program assumes an ASCII operating environment.

The program is best viewed with tab-stops set to 8.
