Subject: Bug in NULU 1.1 unsqueezer

I apologize if the following bug has already been discussed, but I
don't remember seeing it, so:

Earlier this evening I used "sq" and "lar" under UNIX to create a .LBR
full of SQueezed files, and then shipped it to my CP/M system.  When I
then used "-q *.*" in NULU 1.1 to extract and unsqueeze all of the
files, I was left with a directory full of lower-case file names!

One could perhaps argue that the UNIX version of SQ shouldn't store the
file names in lower case, but I disagree, since they might be destined
for another UNIX system.  In any case, I think NULU should put all file
names in canonical form before using them under CP/M.
