[Coco] columnized output in DriiveWire

[Brett Gordon]

A nineserver must replicate the action of coco a bit there no?  Hence you
need to uppercase output at 32 cols.  The nineserver code does exist.  Its
probably on my harddrive, but i only have publicly derived code.(i think)
 I have seen the code... it draws rectangles, and is ready for stubs for
the other os9 escape codes (circles, lines, etc) iirc, some of it was
purposely disabled. WIP?

Still looking at DriveWire source (what I can find; still looking for the
"nineserver" source). Over in DWCommandList.java there's code that deals
with columnized output, which certainly makes sense, but... there's code
there that takes the output and maps it to upper case--but only if there
are fewer than 32 columns.

So, my question is: why does it bother with the toUpperCase()? It's not a
big deal, but I'm just wondering why it was put in there.
