  In ksh you can do it using the uppercase attribute (I realize we don't
all use ksh yet).

	$ typeset -u ucase
	$ for file in *[a-z]*
	> do	ucase=${file}
	>	if [ ! -f $ucase ]
	>	then	mv ${file} ${ucase}
	>	else	echo "Can't move ${file}"
	>	fi
	>done

  ksh takes most of the pain out of it, although you may find typing in the
C program easier. If you have ksh you can put this in as a macro.
