Line 58:
There are a couple of other legacy options in unix that throw back to the UPPERCASE heritage.
* Unix provides the /bin/stty '''and''' the /bin/STTY command for chance where the keyboard only generates uppercase.
* On Unix, if you do a console login and accidentally type your name"username" in UPPERCASE the getty assumed you were on a 6 bit terminal. Linux still retains the "stty xcase" option for prefixing "\" on uppercase characters. I do not recall any "stty sane" option. ;-)
 
I wonder if K&R C ever handled UPPERCASE programs by mapping only characters prefixed with "\" to uppercase? Hmm... I have my suspicions.
