simplest way to copy and rename all *.a files to *.b ???
Different people will have different answers. What I do is:
rename.pl 's/a$/b/' *.a
where rename.pl is the appended Perl script (it exists in many versions
around the net). This version is slightly modified by me from lwall's
original to print the successful renames.

Thanks,
I ended up using make to do the job since I am compiling now anyway.
This is under cygwin and I don't want to install another 5MB just to
rename some files.
I am really surprised it can't be done easily with cp, since with DOS
its just copy *.c *.o.
