But that's the problem: BSD-style tr does ranges as A-Z, System V-style does them as [A-Z], and neither correctly handles the other's style.

The most portable way is to not use ranges.


Humm. Bsd do not support the brackets ... I have no bsd system.... Then a sed will do the trick. Is there a chance to see this change ?
