Apply a command line to every file in a directory. For example: util command @file.ext params @file.ext where @file.ext would be replaced by all files in the current directory with wildcards being valid, and params are other parameters that are used by whatever command you are applying the utility against. I would use this utility to periodically run a certain program on every *.pix file in my directory. Thank you Pat Champion
