From the keyboard of kris.wbst129@xerox.com:
:Here are some examples of what needs to be done:
:
:hello-world => HelloWorld
:helloworld => Helloworld
:HELLOWORLD => Helloworld
:HELLO-WORLD => HelloWorld
:
:In other words, the first charatcer should be capitalized, any character
:following a dash should be capitalized, all others should be lower case, and
:all dashes should be removed.  I have an awk script that will grab the "field"
:I need, but I'm stuck from there.  Any help you can provide is greatly
:appreciated.  Thanks in advance...

:FWIW, this is to help a porting effort from Lisp to C.  Lisp was set up to
:treat everything as a capital, so this was really a non-issue.  C, at least to
:my knowledge, is a bit less flexible in this regard.

Actually, C is more flexible, because it distinguishes case.

    #!/usr/bin/perl -p
    s/(\w+)/\L$1/g;		# all idents to all lower
    s/-(\w)/\u$1/g;		# -x to X
    # s/-(\w)/_\u$1/g;		# -x to _X
    # s/-(\w)/_$1/g;		# -x to _x
    s/^\(\w)/\u$1/;		# leading x to X

I've commented out a couple lines to show you other things I might
do.  I would prefer 'HELLO-WORLD' to simply  be 'hello_world'.
