Guillotine is a drop box that ╥decapitates╙ those ugly all caps DOS-like filenames. Just drop the offending files/folders on it, and the names will become all lowercase. Guillotine processes the complete contents of dropped folders. To make filenames all caps, just hold down the command key while dropping. Note: you will have to close and reopen the folder for the new name(s) to appear in the Finder.
Requirements
Guillotine requires System 7 or later. It is a fat binary for optimal performance on PowerMacintoshes and 68K Macs. My goal is to make Guillotine support as many setups as possible, so if it doesn╒t work on your Mac, let me know!
Distribution
Guillotine is freeware. As a starving computer engineering student/Mac programmer, I understand tight software budgets. :) So send me mail instead of money. Any distribution of Guillotine must be non-profit, and include this doc file. Although Guillotine is freeware, it is ⌐1995 Jason Townsend.
Acknowledgements
Guillotine was written in MW C/C++ 1.2.2 (CW6) on an LC 575/PowerPC 20/540, using DropShell by Leonard Rosenthol, Marshall Clow, and Steven Somogyi.
