[Athen] Advise needed

[Heidi Scher]

There is a great little program called File Renamer that can help with
having to rename files. I've used it for batch renaming for years now.  It
might help you for those files that you actually DO have to rename. There's
a free version and a deluxe version. I've used the freebie.
