Curt,

Thank you for replying.

Umm... I'm sure your suggestion is probably better, but I have to admit
that it went a little over my head. I didn't even realize you had
suggested another option.

Let's see if I understand this...

$ cat > doit <<__EOF__
uniconverter input "$1" output "${1%.ai}.svg"
__EOF__
$ find . -maxdepth 1 -name _\* -print0 | xargs -0 doit


This creates a batch named "doit", and then in the second command I
execute the "doit" batch on the files found by the "find" command?

Is that all that's happening?
