You will need two. This is the exact code:
while (x = *s) {
x -= 'A';
if (x <= 'Z' - 'A') *s = x + 'a';
++s;
}
(there is another version for fixed-length strings, which does the same
conversion).
This code only converts A-Z to a-z, all else is left alone.

Yeah well since it doesn't support LOCALE 'n stuff, it can't now which
characters are special in your country.
Oh, and Breyten says hi :)
