I am working on some software which has to include peoples' names in
the output. I am obtaining these names from files created by an
optical mark reader which is pretty limited in the kind of
characters it can produce--no lower case and no punctuation. So
I sez to myself, what I need here is a name sanitizer/beautifier to
make pretty-looking last names from those which aren't. Anybody ever
seen a routine in any of the Decus stuff (or some other PD source)
which would do something like that?
