the first unix machines probably had teletypes for output (certainly i
was working on a teletype at that time ... though our machine was
admittedly a mainframe).

so unix got over it ...

i suspect dual case things like that derive from our unwillingness to
*impose* "what's good for them" on authors on the archive.  i'm getting
over that feeling (and am regularly changing things now), and jim nags
anyone who submits something that's not quite right.
