Well, your xargs/sed script works very well; thanks very much for that.
The diff script throws this error however:
diff: extra operand '<name of first .bak file in the directory>'
It is not such a critical thing though; I checked "by hand" on a small group
of 10 files or so first to make certain that all was well.
Thanks for the help in any event--
Richard
