# This script will recursively change the file / directory names under the
# directory specified to either upper or lower case.

# The use case for this may be for example to change MS-DOS file names (for
# programs and games) to whatever format you prefer, upper case or lower case.
# I'm a *nix user, so I prefer lower case. Since MS-DOS is case insensitive it
# doesn't matter which format you use, as it will show up as upper case from
# within DOS anyway.
