bigecho

Note: "BIGECHO" is one of the largest karaoke shop chain in Japan.

bigecho displays a line of text on the standard output like echo command, but with large letters. A termio support is required.

People often asks me the difference from banner command, and the answer for the question is that bigecho derives from echo command. Because of that, bigecho does not accept the standard input. Besides,-n option cancels the last line feed from the output.

When you use xterm with “Unreadable” font, you can use this command instead of echo command to read the messages.
