     the  Alliance  CAD system.  This function is to be used by all the Alliance
     tools, and expect a display 80 columns wide.

     #include "ba315n.h"
     #define nfloptitle(name) \

			    "not a FloorPlan router", "92, 93",\
			    ALLIANCE_VERSION)

SEE ALSO
     alliance(1).

DIAGNOSTICS
     alliancebanner: Error: Resulting size bigger than 80 columns not allowed
	    The tool argument must be such that its resulting size  isn't  wider
	    that  80  culumns.	 This  means, since the character set is propor-
	    tional, that the longest name to be output	is  about  8  characters
	    long.
     alliancebanner: Error: Character out of [0-9A-Za-z] range
	    The  tool parameter has a non allowed character in it.  For simplic-
	    ity purposes, only numbers and letters are accepted.
