ANOTHER CASE TRANSLATION

If you have occasion where 
you need to translate upper 
case to lower and vice 
versa, and happen to run a 
ksh, enter the following 
functions into your .profile:

function trans
{
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < $1 > $2
}
function TRANS
{
tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' <$1 > $2
}


The first function will 
translate all uppercase 
letters in the first file 
(argument) to lowercase in 
the second file.

The second function TRANS does the exact opposite.
