In MPW C 2.0x, calls that use C strings (w/ glue code) are spelled normally
while Toolbox calls using Pascal string conventions are spelled all-
uppercase.

In MPW 3.0, calls that use the C glue will be spelled all-lowercase while
the Pascal calls (not needing glue) will spelled normally
(i.e. Inside-Macish).

Disclaimer: This was heard in passing on the Apple Developer's conference
in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, last Wednesday, and may not necessarily
be correct. Any confirmation? Anyone having a file for the Canon tool to
translate all my C sources?
