=Hi, everyone.

=I'm fairly new to unix, and I need a script or procedure to do the following:
=
=I have some source code in DOS (many separate files) that I tarred under
=DOS and untarred under 386BSD.  The big problem is that all the files
=came through in UPPERCASE and I need a script to mv (rename) them all
=to lowercase quickly.
=
=Since they're in DOS text format, I realize I also need to strip the
=extra carriage returns on each line.  I've been successful in doing this
=with:
=
=  cat (file) | tr -d '\015' > (newfile)
=
=It would be nice to combine both of these so that I could rename the
=files to uppercase and strip the extra newlines all in one fell swoop
=instead of doing it one file at a time.

#!/bin/csh -f
# ^M is contrl M, ^Z is control Z
#
foreach i ($*)
sed -e 's/^M//g' -e 's/^Z//g' $i  > `echo $i | tr A-Z a-z`;
rm $i;
end
