   I don't usually mess around with XP but I found one that might do it for you...

   There's an oldie in the BFDS archives called...   
      
     DATFIL12.ZIP         9,857  06-14-94    00:00:00   
      
   I just tried it in my wife's old XP SP2, and the bloody thing worked! Most   
   times anything DOS on it fails miserably.  :)   
      
   Also, I have a later version (v2.0) as a text capture that Bat Lang once   
   called a 'one-off bastard' in a netmail to me.  The v1.2 tool only renames a   
   file to the current day+month, using bits of the original filename for other   
   parts.  V2.0 throws in the year as well.   
      
   Let me know if you want the later version and I'll re-post the DEBUG script   
   for it.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
