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 proportional, 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 simplicity purposes, only numbers and
              letters are accepted.
