   banner n.   1. The title page added to printouts by most print
   spoolers (see {spool}).   Typically includes user or account ID

   a `burst page', because it indicates where to burst (tear apart)
   fanfold paper to separate one user's printout from the next.   2. A
   similar printout generated (typically on multiple pages of fan-fold
   paper) from user-specified text, e.g., by a program such as Unix's
   `banner({1,6})'.   3. On interactive software, a first screen
   containing a logo and/or author credits and/or a copyright notice.
   This is probably now the commonest sense.

   binary
  
      1. {Base} two.   A number representation

      electronics and {Boolean algebra}.

      (1998-07-29)
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Banner
      (1.) The flag or banner of the larger kind, serving for three
      tribes marching together. These standards, of which there were
      four, were worked with embroidery and beautifully ornamented
      (Num. 1:52; 2:2, 3, 10, 18, 25; Cant. 2:4; 6:4, 10).
     
         (2.) The flag borne by each separate tribe, of a smaller form.
      Probably it bore on it the name of the tribe to which it
      belonged, or some distinguishing device (Num. 2:2,34).
     
         (3.) A lofty signal-flag, not carried about, but stationary.
      It was usually erected on a mountain or other lofty place. As
      soon as it was seen the war-trumpets were blown (Ps. 60:4; Isa.
      5:26; 11:12; 13:2; 18:3; 30:17; Jer. 4:6 21; Ezek. 27:7).
     
         (4.) A "sign of fire" (Jer. 6:1) was sometimes used as a
      signal.
     
         The banners and ensigns of the Roman army had idolatrous
      images upon them, and hence they are called the "abomination of
      desolation" (q.v.). The principal Roman standard, however, was
      an eagle. (See Matt. 24:28; Luke 17:37, where the Jewish nation
      is compared to a dead body, which the eagles gather together to
      devour.)
     
         God's setting up or giving a banner (Ps. 20:5; 60:4; Cant.
      2:4) imports his presence and protection and aid extended to his
      people.
