20/Apr/17                                    Welcome2L Version 3.05                                 Welcome2L(1)

Caveat

       Because "A 'welcome' page has been proven to be an invitation to come your system, thus making  it  legal
       to  hack  into  your  box.",  you may want to use the "-private" arg when running Welcome2L to display an
       "Unauthorized access is prohibited" line at the bottom of the ANSI screen.

Description

Welcome2L is a little program that may run at login time to produce a BBS like ANSI login logo. It's very
       similar to Linux_Logo. But where Linux_Logo intends to be portable, Welcome2L intends to produce the best
       looking ANSI screens by making full usage of PC graphic characters. Therefore  an  architecture  able  to
       display  those  characters  (i386,  Alpha with TGA adapter, ... ) is required to use it.  And, even if it
       will work on larger screens, it will only produce 80 column ANSI screens.

Example

       /usr/bin/Welcome2L -getty -msg "Gentoo Linux" -lcol 14 -scr 02

Welcome2L is released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
