No, mainly as things end up as broken as the red squirrel tree you mention

Restoring a red squirrel tree for use in rpcemu involves renaming the
files, I have used cygwin (for a unix like bash shell under windows) and
the following commands to change all the filenames within the hostfs
tree. (note, don't run this on your whole harddisc, else a windows
reinstall would probably be needed ...)
find . -depth -type f -name "*.txt" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.txt},fff"' _ {}
\;
find . -depth -type f -name "*.dat" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.dat},ffd"' _ {}
\;
find . -depth -type f -name "*.htm" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.htm},faf"' _ {}
\;
find . -depth -type f -name "*.arc" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.arc},ddc"' _ {}
\;
find . -depth -type f -name "*.png" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.png},b60"' _ {}
\;
find . -depth -type f -name "*.jpg" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.jpg},c85"' _ {}
\; && \
find . -depth -type f -name "*.jpeg" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.jpeg},c85"' _
{} \; && \
find . -depth -type f -name "*.gif" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.gif},695"' _ {}
\; && \
find . -depth -type f -name "*.html" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.html},faf"' _
{} \;
