If that was all the problem then a simple script would have solved the problem
#!/bin/bash
for i in *
do
j=`echo $i | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`
mv $i $j
done
The script simply transforms any filename to the same name but in capital letters! That way you would have just used one CALCP.
Come on, go back to APACHE
