Not looked at it yet, I was going to do this for Xploitz, but a HDD failure and problems with my basic skills not knowing how to handle the differing line terminators put a stop on that.

These are the notes it took when we were talking about what it should be capable of.

It needs to be able to handle lines terminated by either a <cr><lf> pair for files created in a windows environment and by a <lf> for files created in a unix environment.
Accept a wide range of files as input files txt,lst,dic etc etc and files with no extention, I was going to let it accept any file except exe and com to cover all eventualities.

Manipulation Features
All caps
All lower-case
Alternate letters upper and lower-case (and the reverse of that)
Capitalised First char
Output to a new file with those options to preserve the original.
Each of the words repeated, on a second line, the original word on the first and the second line using one of the options I gave above all output to a new file.

When we worked out what was needed, those were the options we came up with.

Good luck with your project
