There is no input text case control for xxcopy. Nor to the best of 
my knowledge does Windows differentiate between the various cases of 
file name text. In other words the following three files are all the 
same to Windows and therefore xxcopy.

myfile.txt
Myfile.Txt
MYFILE.TXT

I think there can be some situations particularly when writing to 
some older CD systems, where case becomes important, but again, not 
in selecting the files, in writing them.

There are some utilities out there that you could use to generate a 
list of lowercase files, and then you could use xxcopy in a script to 
copy them. The one I use for things like that is a text editor 
called NoteTab Pro.
