Here's some source, gotten from Keith Petersen/Bill Davidsen/Frank da Cruz;
does casing and other neat stuff too. Originally from comp.binaries.ibm.pc
(I think).
One-liners... HMMMPH!
/* X X U -- 20-to-Unix filename converter */
/**
** This can be very handy for fixing uppercase case and illegal filenames
** on Unix. Why is it posted here? Because it's a tool for getting
** MSDOS files from comp.binaries.ibm.pc and SIMTEL20.
**
** Thanks to Bill Davidsen for the update.

/*
Change DEC-20 or VAX/VMS style filenames into normal Unix names.
Handy for use after ftp MGETs, when you find your directory full of
files with names like LIB:<KERMIT>CKUFIO.C.2 or FRED::[ETHEL]A.B;37
when all you really wanted was ckufio.c and a.b.
Usage: xxu file(s)
Action: Renames argument files as follows:
strips Unix path name from front (up to rightmost '/') if present
strips DEC device:, node:: names from front (up to rightmost ':') if present
strips DEC-20 <directory> or VMS [directory] name if present
strips DEC-20 version number from end (everything after 2nd dot) if present
strips VMS generation number from end (everything after ';') if present
lowercases any uppercase letters
honors DEC-20 CTRL-V quote for special characters
discards unquoted unprintable characters
if result is null, file is renamed to xxfile-n, where n is a number.
if result would write over an existing file, file also renamed to xxfile-n.
Recommended procedure: make a new directory, cd to it, then FTP files
from DEC-20 or VMS system, then do "xxu *".
