The latest version of nawk from the Toolchest (cost is $300, I think)
now supports a toupper() and tolower() function.  The GNU awk, gawk,
also supports these two functions.

With the general availability of these latest versions of awk,
and their low price (essentially free for gawk), there's no
reason to be running the ancient versions from V7 days.
