While it was not mandatory, it was common practice on the OS-9 operating system to name files in lower case and directories in all caps.  OS-9 was [and NitrOS-9 is] a sort of mini-Unix written in assembler for the Motorola 6809 cpu, (still) widely used in embedded applications and on the Radio Shack Color Computer.  (Using OS-9 I used to build multi-user systems with 64k RAM).
