Judges' Comments:

    To build:

	make newbern

    Try:

        ./newbern newbern.dat "IOCCC 2004"
        echo SOS | ./newbern

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


Selected Author's Comments:

    This is a configurable banner-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.
