The find command will give you a list of all the files or directories
that match citeria which you can pass to you your program using back
ticks (expand the find command as necessary)

myconvert `find  `

but that may exceded the number of file names you can pass.

You can also use exec the exec option on the find command to call
myconver once for each program.
