Aw c'mon ROMeyn, give us a *hard* question :}
There's a *ton* of these renaming utilities, both on the Windows side:
http://www.macwindows.com/filetran.html#WinFileTools
And on the Mac side:
http://www.macwindows.com/filetran.html#filetools
Way back when i had to migrate from an AppleShare to an NT server, i
used Drop Rename, which was able to dig recursively, *and* worked on
folder names, as well as files.
But i've heard good things about NameCleaner, and i think Dan
recommended something a while back, but am feeling too lazy to look it
up.
