When Arc 10 was first released, I attempted to write a script to convert everything in a 9.x script to a 10.x script.I never used it and I know there were some issues with it but you can use the ideas/lists/dictionaries from it:#
# Updates Tools, Functions, Environments & a few Methods from 9.x to "case-sensitive" 10.x
#
# Note: Rewrites script(s) to hardcoded "ARC10" directory.
#
# Thoughts:
# Can I get a list of all Methods & Properties?

# Without toolbox (e.g. clip)
