I have a script called "unmsdos" that makes names "unix-friendly" (eliminates
spaces as well as leading dashes, ampersands, parentheses, and other cruft.
It also invokes my "uncrnl" program to undo CR-NL if it's a text file. Enjoy.
BTW, is this worth cleaning up and turning into a port sometime? Opinions
welcome.

Well, you can, but *what* a pain. And when do you do things like piping an
ls into xargs, it gets the names all wrong. Spaces in file names are totally
for the birds.
