Names and Types

All names and types are converted to upper-case and all white space and non-printing characters in them are ignored. Thus `` William Lupton '' is regarded as ``WILLIAMLUPTON''. An upper limit of 16 characters is imposed on both names and types (the limit applies to the length after the removal of white space and non-printing characters).
