Re: Need help to convert a name in upper case, to mixed case

Jon,

It appears to correctly handle O'NEIL vs ONEIL. And it also appears to
handle prefixes pretty well -- as in CARMEN DE LAVALLADE being returned
as Carmen de Lavallade.

quite easily. It seems to handle most of the MACDONALD, MCDONALD type
stuff but not ONEIL.

Besides, some people write O'Neil and some Oneil. What can a poor
