Alexandre, The Species Richness module on www.eco-tools.net calculates the same statistics as EstimateS. There is also a Mathematica notebook you can download that allows you to do the calculations on your own computer, if you have access to Mathematica. I mention it because you could easily add a few lines to make it loop through a series of files.
If you DO have access to Mathematica, and would like to try this, I would be happy to add those lines in the 'examples' section and send the notebook to you.
