Yep; I remember now... At nearly 65, my memory is getting a bit hazy :-)
And I've just remembered that there was a script "mved" written by Brian
Coogan which would rename files; its usage was "mved [-n] =.c =.c.old" to
rename *.c to *.c.old. I have it here somewhere, and could post it if
necessary.

Well, that would not rename files, but copy them and at the same time
changing their names. But you could also do renaming in a similar way,
but usually it would require a switch to PIP telling it that you wanted
the files renamed, and not copied.
