Kris,
  Here is an awk script that seems to work for me:

----Cut Here----
{
    for( f=1; f<=NF; f++ )
    {
        # 1.  Make first character Upper Case.
        # 2.  Make rest of the word Lower Case.

        sub( substr($f,1,1), toupper( substr( $f, 1, 1)), $f );
        sub( substr($f,2), tolower( substr($f,2)), $f );

        # If a '-' is found, get rid of it and make the next
        # character Upper Case.

        while( (i=index( $f, "-" )) != 0 )
        {
            pattern = substr( $f, i, 2 );
            sub( pattern, toupper(substr($f,i+1,1)), $f);
        }

        # Output what you have.

        print $f
    }
}
----Cut Here----

If you save it as dash2cap.awk, then you'd use it as:

awk -f dash2cap.awk InputFileName >OutputFileName

where you supply the InputFileName and the OutputFilename.

Nice 'awking' to you!  heheheheh
