   RENAMZ is a general-purpose file renaming utility as well as a companion to 
ACOPY.  It can  help reduce  the  alias command-line length required to rename 
groups of files with  unrelated  names by optionally renaming only those files 
that have been  tagged with  any combination of the file attributes F1 through 
F7 (rename if any of the selected attributes are set).

   RENAMZ can also 'move' files between different user areas as well as rename
them at  the same time if you specify the desired new user area as part of the
new filename.  Any drive specified for the new filename will be ignored.

 Syntax   RENAMZ19 [dir:]old_afn [dir:]new_afn [excluded] [/option(s)]
       or RENAMZ19 [dir:]new_afn=[dir:]old_afn [excluded] [/option(s)]

 Options   1 - 7 -->  Rename only files with any selected attributes set 
               N -->  Rename only non-archived (changed) files
               A -->  Rename directory and system files
               X -->  Skip renaming if files already exist
               O -->  Overwrite (delete) existing R/W files without asking
               R -->  Overwrite existing R/O (and R/W) files without asking
               D -->  Archive renamed files
               P -->  Add new_afn prefix to filenames
               K -->  Delete new_afn prefix from filenames
               I -->  Inspect and approve each rename
               Q -->  Quiet

   Files can only  be renamed  to  new filenames on the same drive,  so RENAMZ
will  ignore  any  drive  specification  for  the  new filename.  Specifying a 
different user number  for the  new filename will cause the old filename to be
renamed  to  the  new  filename  and 'moved'  to the new user area.  If either
dir: specification is not supplied, RENAMZ will assume the default du:.

 RENAMZ Notes 

   a. Vs 1.9 updates (10/24/91, Terry Hazen):
      - Adds a new 'A' ('All') option that when OFF, allows renaming of direc-
        tory files only.   When ON,  both  directory and system  files  may be
        renamed.  The default setting is OFF,  but ZCNFG may be used to change
        the default setting to ON.
      - Adds two new options to allow  adding or  deleting  filename prefixes.
        In both cases,  wildcard filetypes are handled normally.   Option  'K'
        treats new_afn wildcard characters  differently.  It deletes ('Kills')
        the number of leading new_afn wildcard  characters from the  beginning
        of the old filenames.  Option 'P' adds the prefix characters specified
        in the new_afn specification to the old filenames.
