+# From: c2a192@ugrad.cs.ubc.ca (Kazimir Kylheku)
+# Newsgroups: comp.unix.shell,comp.os.linux.misc
+# Subject: GNU Bash Script to fix filenames
+# Date: 28 Mar 1996 14:54:43 -0800
+# Organization: Computer Science, University of B.C., Vancouver, B.C., Canada
+#
+#This is a script which takes a list of directories, descends through each one
+#and ``corrects'' filenames that:
+#
+# - contain filename globbing characters: * ? [ ]
+# - quote characters: ' "
+# - control characters: 0-31 (127 is not dealt with---oops)
+# - - or + as the first character
+#
+# The GNU version of 'tr' is required. Also requires 'sed'.
+#
+# Script to process a given list of directories recursively
+# and rename each file to something that is reasonable.
+#
+# The rules are:
+#
+# 1. replace each space, [, ], *, ", and ' character in the name with a
+# period.
+# 2. replace each control character 1..31 with a printable character obtained
+# by adding 64 to the ascii value. ^A becomes A, ^B becomes B and so on.
+# 3. replace a - or + occuring at the beginning of the name with a #
+#
+# 4. if the resulting name has been changed in any way, then
+# 5. if a file of the new name already exists, then
+# 6. add a . to the new name and goto step 5.
+# 7. rename the old name to the new name
+#
+# written by Kaz Kylheku <kaz@cafe.net>
+# March 1996
+# Vancouver, Canada
+#
+# requires GNU 'bash', GNU 'tr', and some sort of 'sed' program.
