Hello all!

First off, XBanner has a home-site now. This means a real home for XBanner
and the XBanner home-page. On this occasion I'd like to send many thanks to
Rich McClellan <richmc@seneca.fullerton.edu> for helping me set this up!

Home page is: http://chaos.fullerton.edu/XBanner/

So you can now download XBanner 1.1 from:

ftp://chaos.fullerton.edu/pub/Linux/XBanner/XBanner1.1.tar.gz

or the old place:

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/xutils/XBanner1.1.tar.gz
        (unless it is still in /Incoming)

New and hot in XBanner 1.1!
===========================

XBanner v1.1 can now fill your background with a color gradient, just to
make it look even more pleasing and "professional".

Also, the documentation was reworked, and the homepage has been updated a
bit.

What Is XBanner?
- ----------------
Do you run XDM? Does your system load the X-Window system and then asks for
your username/password? If this is the case XBanner can make that login
screen look much much nicer.

XBanner simply takes the text you tell it to, and draws it onto the screen
in a font of your choice. It renders an effect that you can choose and some
of these effects can look awsome.

Here's the LSM:

Title:          XBanner
Version:        1.1
Entered-date:   1-June-1996
Description:    This program draws a text line on the X root window with
                some nice effects. It is meant to be run by XDM's Xsetup_0
                script, to give a nice XDM's login box a nice touch.
