VFAT supports such behavior.  If you are using a Windows based application
then such support will work.  If your using a DOS based application that
does not understand VFAT it will default to lower case since FAT itself
does not understand such concepts.

So without knowing 'what' program in question is being talked about I have
to assume it is either a 16bit windows application or a pure DOS
application.
