Specifically, 

-                       printf("%s-: %s%d already exists, skipping it\n",
+                       printf("%s: %s%d already exists; skipping it\n",

This looks funny to me.  What's the basis for the semicolon?  I've
checked the Commonwealth Style Manual and the Chicago Manual of Style
and can't find any basis in either book.
