I know perl is wonderful, and I do use it a lot, but I can't help feeling that

	tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' < file | lam file -s " " -

is easier (if you have `lam' I suppose, but there's an "if you have `perl'"
too ...).

BTW does anyone know what the state of rs, jot, and lam are ?  I find them all
very useful.
