To get you on the right track...
The Mobs are capitalized simply by capitalizing the first letter of
thier short desc. In this case that letter is an & (which has no
capital/lowercase equivelents so the CAP and UPPER macros will simply do
nothing with it and leave it as-is). The simple solution is to test the
first character (with an if statement) and if it's an & capitalize the
third character instead (if you want to account for more than one code
in a row then you should use a while loop and a pointer and step through
every odd character until you reach one that isn't an &).
Well, that's all you get from me right now, see what you can do with it
and if you need anything more specific let me know. ;)
