>What is the easiest way to convert lower case file names to upper case?
IMHO the easiest way is this, using 4NT:
REN fu.bar %@UPPER[fu.bar]
I use the opposite a lot to prepare files for uploading to a web site:
convert all filenames to lower case. I have an alias defined as:
tolower=FOR %fn IN (%1) REN "%fn" %@LOWER["%fn"]
Then, the command
tolower *.htm
will convert all filename *.htm to lower case.
4NT's function @UPPER is documented at
<http://jpsoft.com/help/f_upper.htm>; an overview of functions at
<http://jpsoft.com/help/functioncats.htm>; the alias command is
documented at <http://jpsoft.com/help/alias.htm>.
Other CLIs may require more elaborate approaches.

In pure batch probably this one:
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d *.txt') do (
set var=%%a
set u=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
set l=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
for /l %%b in (0,1,25) do call :u !l:~%%b,1! !u:~%%b,1!
ren "%%a" "!var!"
goto :eof
:u
set "var=!var:%1=%2!")

One such is FILECASE.EXE (free) in the "Win32 Console ToolBox 1.0 for
Windows"
Usage: filecase [/s] [/h] [/p] [/q] [/d] [/l | /u] filespec ...
/s Process subdirectories.
/h Process hidden/system files/directories.
/p Prompt for each file/directory to be renamed (Yes/No/All/Quit).
/q Quiet mode; Only display errors.
/d Rename directory names as well as file names.
/l Convert names to lowercase (default).
/u Convert names to uppercase.
