OK, I implemented your request in version 1.00 in a slightly
different way. By default, ntuple column names are converted
to lower case (except the first character).
I have added an option to disable this conversion to lower case.
This will be explained in the released notes (coming very soon).

Thanks for the suggestion.

We also took note of your mails explaining how you get a crash
when you use the Browser. We will check these problems and fix them
in the next release.
