    I am running a fortran program which requires all input file names to be
    uppercase. As things were originally done in Windo$e all the filenames
    are mixed case (with numbers).

    Searching around I came across the "tr" command, but my difficulty comes
    in trying to use this from the command line (or even in a bash script).

        mv * | tr [a-z] [A-Z]

    Does not work as mv requires a directory for the objective with multiple
    files. All of the scripts that I have seen are mainly for changing the
    case of text in a text file so wouldn't work for me.

    So, how would I do this?

    TIA Dave
