║ Brief Description ║
╚═══════════════════╝
LOWCASE is used to convert the names in your PAF database to
lower case.
╔══════════════════╗
║ Long Description ║
╚══════════════════╝
After reading many queries on a program to convert the names in
the PAF NAME2.DAT file to lower case, LOWCASE was written. There
is no error checking and program may crash if it runs into bad
data in the NAME2.DAT file. Be sure you are working on a BACKUP
copy of the NAME2.DAT file and check the modified file with FRCHK
before discarding your original NAME2.DAT file.
Some names may not be correctly converted. MCDERMITT will be
converted as McDermitt. MC DERMITT will be converted as Mc
Dermitt. MACDERMITT will be converted as Macdermitt. MAC DERMITT
will be converted as Mac Dermitt. J.J.CHASE will be converted as
J.J.Chase. J. J. CHASE will be converted as J. J. Chase. JOHN
HENRY, ESQ will be converted as John Henry, Esq, JOHN HENRY,ESQ
will be converted as John Henry,Esq, O'MALLEY will end up
O'Malley, and JONES-BUCK will end up Jones-Buck. JOHN'S TAVERN
will be converted as John's Tavern.
Names in parenthes or with a preceding question mark will be
converted as (WIDOW SMITH) to (Widow Smith) and ?WIDOW SMITH to
?Widow Smith. Roman Numerals in the title field or in a name
field, if separated from other data by a space, will be left in
upper case. This will hold for those numerals up to XXX (30
arabic). Therefore, a name like KING JAMES VII will be converted
as King James III.
The two letter upper case postal abbreviations for the U.S. states
will be maintained properly. MA will remain MA, N.Y. will remain
N.Y. and NY will remain NY.
