    CASE is  a utility  designed to  perform a  few of the more common text
    file conversions.  This includes four types of case conversion:

         CONVERT TO UPPERCASE
         convert to lowercase
         Capitalize first word in sentence
         Capitalize All Words

    CASE also performs three types of End-Of-Line conversion  (CR/LF, LF or
    CR).    This  is  often  needed when exchanging text files between DOS,
    Unix or Mac platforms.

    To run CASE, use the syntax...

         CASE <option> <input file> [output file]

    Otherwise just type CASE on it's  own for  instructions on  usage.  The
    <option> parameter  specifies the type of conversion you would like the
    program to perform.  This parameter  must be  specified.   Listed below
    are the options allowed by CASE...

         /U - CONVERT TO UPPERCASE
         /L - convert to lowercase
         /F - Capitalize first word in every sentence
         /A - Capitalize All Words
         /D - Convert to DOS format (CR/LF at EOL)
         /X - Convert to Unix format (LF at EOL)
         /M - Convert to Mac format (CR at EOL)

         Example: case /u readme.txt

    By  default,  the  <input  file>  is  the text file to be read from AND
    written to.  Otherise you may  specify  an  optional  [output  file] to
    receive  the  converted  text  (leaving  the  input  file undisturbed).
    Regardless of method used, the input file keeps  its original  time and
    date stamp,  whereas the  [output file] (if specified) is time and date
    stamped by the system clock.   This is  designed to  make it  easier to
    keep track of files.

    After the  text is  converted, the  total number  of words and lines in
    your document is also displayed.

    CASE only requires 64k of memory to run.   Since  the program functions
    by reading  and writing  data in segments, the size of files able to be
    converted is limited only  by the  amount of  drive space  available on
    your system!  For maximum efficiency and minimal size, CASE was written
    in 100% Assembly Language.

    SHAREWARE:    If  you  like  and  use  the   program,  please  consider
