Aaargh! While this may sound silly, my request really is serious.
I need to (intelligently) tranform a batch of text from ALL CAPS to Mixed
case. I don't need 100%, but close would be fine. A stupid algorithm
(down-case everything not at the start of a sentence or some such) would,
of course, miss acronyms (U.S.A., IBM, AT&T), chemical compounds (HeNe,
SiO2), proper names (Peter, Paul, Pittsburgh), etc.
Ideally, someone has code which will do a reasonable job already. Else,
someone has skeleton code with a dictionary of exceptions. Else, I may
end up kludging something together. (Yuck)
Please e-mail offers, since the news feed is being a bit unstable on my
machine.
Cheers,
Peter "miniscule" Marvit
