To all the TeX pundits:

I am a novice at TeX and have been trying to solve the following problem
for a few days without much success:

I would like to generate a macro whose function is equivalent to the font
CMCSC, i.e., if I type AbCd within a group, then it should print out ABCD
except that the letters should be in two different sizes:
   "big captital A small capital B big captital C small capital D"
and all in CMBX (BOLD) fonts. For example, the uppercase letters from the
input could be CMBX10 and lowercase letters could be CMBX8.

I can make it work in a brute force manner by breaking the words into first
letter and rest of the letters and printing them in different sizes, but I
am certain there is an "intelligent" way of doing it.

Do you have any pointers or suggestions??

Thanks,

P. Misra (pmisra@valhalla.wright.edu)
