[ale] script or app to set all files to lower case

[James Taylor]

That worked a little better.
It renamed all the files and folders at the immediate level, but had problems recursing.

The following is an example of the errors generated.

mv: cannot move `./SNAPINS/NWCADM32.DLL' to `./snapins/nwcadm32.dll': No such file or directory

It looks a little like it's enumerating the file list, and once the directory has been renamed, it can't find it to write the new file name to.

Actually, better solution.  "-depth" makes it reverse order:

find . -depth | while read OldName; do
NewName=`echo $OldName|tr [A-Z] [a-z]`
mv -v "$OldName" "$NewName"
done
