TurboImage passwords are case-sensitive, or at least I thought so. Here is
a case of a data base where the password is an upper-case password

I noticed one of the programmers typing a base command in lower case,
including the password.

   base dbase,5,passinlc

The data base was opened successfully. If I type the password in lower case
in QUERY, the result is:

   PASSWORD DOES NOT MATCH ANY DEFINED FOR SPECIFIED DATA BASE,
      USER CLASS ZERO (0) WAS ASSIGNED

Apparently, SUPRTOOL upshifts the password. What would SUPRTOOL do if the
password were mixed case?
