Re: upper/lower case

 Since you don't have GNU sed, you could perform your transformation
 utilizing the regular sed as follows:
 

 sed -e '
 h
 s/;/\
 /3
 s/\n.*//
 s/;/\
 /2
 s/.*\n//
 y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/
 s/\<\([a-z]\)/\
 \1/g
 s/$/\
 /
 s//\
 aA/
 s//\
 bB/
 s//\
 cC/
 s//\
 dD/
 s//\
 eE/
 s//\
 fF/
 s//\
 gG/
 s//\
 hH/
 s//\
 iI/
 s//\
 jJ/
 s//\
 kK/
 s//\
 lL/
 s//\
 mM/
 s//\
 nN/
 s//\
 oO/
 s//\
 pP/
 s//\
 qQ/
 s//\
 rR/
 s//\
 sS/
 s//\
 tT/
 s//\
 uU/
 s//\
 vV/
 s//\
 wW/
 s//\
 xX/
 s//\
 yY/
 s//\
 zZ/
 

 :a
 s/\n\(a\)\(.*\)\(\n.*\n\1\)\(A\)\(.*\)/\4\2\3\4\5/;ta
 s/\n\(.\)\(.*\)\(\n\n.*\n\1\)\(.\)\(.*\)/\4\2\3\4\5/;ta
 

 x;G;s/\n\n.*//
 s/;/\
 /3
 s/;/\
 /2
 s/\n\(.*\)\n\(.*\)\n\(.*\)/;\3;\2/
 ' yourfile

 

 

 with Perl it can be accomplished in a much simplified manner:
 

 perl -F\; -pale '
    s/\b(\w+)/\u\L$1/g for $F[2];
    $_=join";",@F;
 ' yourfile
