you're better off to fix the problem where it lies instead... the problem
is in hpt/dos's code... it needs to write all uppercase filenames to the
?lo files instead of the mixed case ones it is writing now... when one
program creates a workaround to fix a problem (aka bug) in another program,
the buggy program never gets fixed as long as the work around exists...
please don't do that...

if the problem can't be fixed within hpt/dos (and it can be -
hpt/src/fcommon.c or maybe hpt/src/toss.c adding something like an
"#IFDEF DOS upcase(filename) #ENDIF" type construct) then you
could maybe run sed or awk or even tr over the flo files and upcase the
file names listed before binkd gets to them... or, here's a bash script
that is pretty close to doing it... it needs more work to loop completely
and not eat itself when renaming the tmp files... if you can find a way to
easily feed the flo file names to it, only the inner loop and the mv at the
end need be used... that's actually how it started out... it definitely
needs work for the various outbound directories and to ensure that it only
grabs the extension via the last dot... it may also need double-quotes in
places to handle directories and file names with spaces in them... its a
quick script, untested... can be made to work with some effort...

===== start fixit =====
#!/bin/bash

# loop through all flo files in outdirfiles
outdirfiles=/your/path/to/out/*.?[Ll][Oo]

for filename in $outdirfiles
do
  echo "Processing $filename..."
  while read -r floline
  do
    # get the extension after the last dot
    flofext=${floline##*.}

    # get the filename.extension
    floname=${floline##*/}

    # chop off after the last dot
    flofname=${floname%%.*}

    # upcase the file name
    flofname="$(echo $flofname | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]')"

    # get the directory
    flofdir=${floline%/*}

    # write modified line to temp file
    echo "$flofdir/$flofname.$flofext" >> $filename.tmp
  done < "$filename"
done

# now loop the tmp files and move them to their real names
for filename in $outdirfiles
do
  if [ -e $filename.tmp ]
  then
    # move temp file to flo file
    mv $filename.tmp $filename
  fi
done

===== end fixit =====


but it is still best to fix this in hpt/dos... infinitely better...
