** I bought Broderbund's Banner Mannia.  Nice program.  Cheap ($30-40).  Writes
** 2 lines of text of various fonts, styles, shading, etc.  Best when printed
** out on fan-fold paper.  By juidicious placement of the text on the paper, and
** by reloading and reprint on the same roll of paper, you can get 4 lines of
** text easily.  It is also a lot of fun.  Uses graphic dot matrix printer very
** well - many fonts print without too much jaggies.
** 
** Also Power Up software has a banner program, but I have no personal experience
** with it.

I have used the Apple II version of the Power Up software.  I creates very
nice-looking, fancy poster titles (up to 8 lines, various fonts).  However, 
the disk is copy-protected and I am no longer able to run it because it
went bad some time ago.
