Author: Peter Parkani (parkp@spas.sk)
Version 1.6   December 30,1998
freeware

Description:
Program renames file or files matching specified filename. New name(s)
are generated from newname (base part) and mask (counter). 
Extensions are unchaged.

Handy if you make sorted cataloges of pictures (or other files) from directories
with large number of files (proxy cache,...).


Usage:
brename filename newname [mask] 

filename  - specifies name of the file(s) to rename (wildcards supported).
            Files with SYSTEM, HIDDEN and READ ONLY attributes are ignored.

newname   - is base part of new name. 

[mask]    - is starting number of counter with increment 1. Parameter is optional.
            Default value is 001.


Exit codes:
0         - no errors
1         - incorrect numbers of parameters
2         - can't find file specified, can't rename file
4         - allocation error


Notes:
- it is a good idea to copy program to windows system directory or directory with path

Example:
brename *.jp*g picture 01000

Renames all (NON SYSTEM, NON RAED ONLY, NON HIDDEN) .jp*g (jpg, jpeg,...) files 
in current directory to following files:
picture01000.jpg
picture01001.jpg
picture01002.jpg
picture01003.jpeg
...
