Try

$DEFINE DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE ENABLE

And blead will preserve the case of files on ODS-5 volumes.  On ODS-2 
volumes they will be uppercased.

Note some of the lib and external modules may still be assuming that VMS 
means all lowercase filenames because this feature is still not 
implemented fully.
