{
In SWAG9408, Jose Campione provided TXLATE5, a fast case conversion
procedure.  In response to the included request for suggestions and
improvements, please find attached my uppercase translation procedure,
which although very similar, is approx 10-15% faster.  This is
primarily achieved by using DEC CX and JNZ @Dest instead of LOOP @Dest
in the conversion loop (much faster on 386/486's).

Feel free to include the source code in the next SWAG release if you
wish to.

INTERFACE

VAR
  Upper : ARRAY[Char] OF Char; {Uppercase Translation Table}
{
This case translation table is initialised according to the country  
code information specified in the CONFIG.SYS file (DOS 4.0+).      
For older DOS versions, the standard character translations are used.

The 'Upper' array may also be accessed directly, eg: Ch := Upper['x']. 
This is the fastest possible replacement for the Upcase() function.
