Capitalizing sentences

I was looking for a good regular expression to capitalize sentences intelligently and found a decent set of rules for a script. Installation:

• Unpack the tar file

• Move capitalize.nouns and capitalize.special someplace the script can find them, like /usr/local/lib. Change the script to hold that location.

• Move the capitalize script somewhere in your path.

Now give it a test-drive:

    me% cat sample
    i'm wondering if there is a script that would capitalize the first
    letter of each sentence, assuming the character wasn't already a cap!
    this filter would have to determine what was and was not a sentence.
    or a sentence fragment.

Comments welcome.
