You are using lsearch aliases, right? Luckily lsearch does a caseless

not for "BOWLER", unless you used the trick I posted for using a
smartuser to force lowercasing.

There's an option in the CC compiler to tell it to use ANSI C semantics.
Something like -std=a (but I can't really remember). I think that
applies even as far back as that. (I never quite understood why they
couldn't just support this particular thing anyway...)
