     For those of you without perl win32 you are welcome to download 
prebuild binary distribution of cygperl v 5.004_04  based on CygWin Beta 19 
with  DBD:mSQL, DBD:ODBC,  DBD:Oracle, libwww-perl, perl-wish GUI  
ant some other prebuild extensions from http://www.qub.com/group/

     At the moment it is tested with Windows NT 4.0. Win95 testing 
is in progress as well as preparing 'mission' document.  

     Briefly - our goal was to produce useful and easy-to-use 
cygperl / win32 distribution. We are glad to discuss this idea with 
everybody who may be interested in such activity - feel free to 
write us.

Regards. Paul.

for those of you without perl, the following shell script might be useful
++++++++++++++ cut ++++++++++++
#!/bin/bash
# file: smallnames
#     recursively convert all files and directories to lowercase names
# usage:
#     smallnames <directory>
for f
do
   newname=`echo $f | tr A-Z a-z`
   if [ $f != $newname ]; then
      mv $f $f.lc
      echo -e $f \=\> $newname
      mv $f.lc $newname
   fi
   if [ -d $newname ]; then
      cd $newname
      pwd
      smallnames `ls` &
      cd ..
   fi
done

++++++++++++++ cut ++++++++++++

Note this will recursively traverse your directories from the starting
point, so be careful.
