|Huh? What version of tr uses that syntax to convert from uppercase to
|lowercase?

I believe any product marked as "UNIX 95 compliant" or "X/Open
compliant" is required to have a tr that uses that syntax.  In
any case, Solaris 2.x tr, GNU tr, AIX 3.2.x tr, HP/UX 9.0x tr,
and Digital UNIX (aka DEC OSF/1) 3.x tr all support that syntax,
as I'm sure do many other OS'es.
