The behavior of toupper() and tolower() varies across the many
implementations of the C library. The following strategies
are known to work:
1. if (isupper(c))
c = tolower(c);
2. #ifdef tolower
#undef tolower
#define tolower(c) (whatever you feel is right)
Moral: if you do something wrong, half the people will adapt
to it and the other half will "do it right."
