ext2lc - Change file extensions to lowercase
ext2uc - Change file extensions to uppercase

These utilities rename files so that the extensions are completely uppercase
or lowercase.

BACKGROUND
I wrote this because often digital cameras create files on fat filesystems
which end up with uppercase letters.  I use processing scripts to change the
file names but the extensions remain the same.  Since I prefer lowercase
letters I use this utility to lowercase the file extensions while leaving the
rest of the file name alone.

INTSTALL

The utility is actually one script that converts to uppercase or lowercase
based on the way it is called.
*) copy ext2lc to /usr/local/bin or wherever you want it
*) create a symlink to the file called ext2uc
*) alternately you can create a second copy of ext2lc named ext2uc

REQUIREMENTS
It's a bash script.  It should work on posix compliant systems.
