SYNOPSIS

subroutine signs(string,iounit)

     character(len=*),intent(in)          :: string
     integer,intent(in)                   :: iounit
     character(len=1),intent(in),optional :: letter

DESCRIPTION

SIGNS(2f) writes out the string left-justified in large (13 lines x 8 columns) block letters starting in column 2.

This can be used to make banners in program output files; it is also handy for making attention-catching notices in interactive programs.

EXAMPLE

The program:

       program demo_signs
       use M_messages, only : signs
       call signs(’NOTICE’,6)
       end program demo_signs

would produce:

     > XX  XXX   XXX   XXXXXXX  XXXXX    XXXX  XXXXXXX
     >  X   X   X   X  X  X  X    X     X    X  X    X
     >  XX  X  X     X    X       X    X        X
     >  XX  X  X     X    X       X    X        X  X
     >  X X X  X     X    X       X    X        XXXX
     >  X  XX  X     X    X       X    X        X  X
     >  X  XX  X     X    X       X    X        X
     >  X   X   X   X     X       X     X    X  X    X
     > XXX  X    XXX     XXX    XXXXX    XXXX  XXXXXXX
