The following script might also work, although you may have to do `mv'
twice:

for f in $*; do
  new="`echo $f | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`"
  [ "$f" = "$new" ] || mv $f $new || exit 1
done

Surprisingly enough, it converts all arguments file names from upper
case to lower case :-)  If you call this script `lc', then invoking it
with `lc *' will lowercase all files in a directory.
