I'd use Perl and the Lingua::EN::Titlecase module:


http://search.cpan.org/~ashley/Lingua-EN-Titlecase-0.14/lib/Lingua/EN/Titlecase.pm

For example:

2012-02-21 20:04:27 dpchrist@p43400e ~
$ echo "NELSON ARISPE, EDUARDO ROJAS, AND HARVEY B. POLLARD" | perl 
-MLingua::EN::Titlecase -ne '$tc = Lingua::EN::Titlecase->new($_); print 
$tc->title'
Nelson Arispe, Eduardo Rojas, and Harvey B. Pollard


HTH,

David
