newext   [plain text]

# original from:
# newext: change filename extension
# @(#) newext.sh 1.1 93/04/13
# 90/06/06 john h. dubois iii (john@armory.com)
# 90/11/14 changed ksh-specific code to hybrid: if running under Bourne,
#          uses expr instead of ksh builtin ops.  Removed SYSV specific code.
# 91/08/06 added -t option
# 92/11/06 made earlier code actually work!
# 93/04/13 If no filenames given, act on files in current dir
#
# conversion to bash v2 syntax by Chet Ramey

-h: Print this help.
-t: Test: No action is taken except to print the mv commands that would
be executed if -t was not given."
