I vaguely remember something like "PIP *.TXT *.OLD" to rename files (the

All the DEC-10 and 11 operating systems I used had that wildcard, as well
as IIRC even the PDP-8, maybe someone can confirm the -8.
It would have been nice had RE's been the standard way to glob files, but,
that said, when I mention .*\.c to people instead of *.c they don't much
like it.
