.... for myself, at least, is flashing in front of my eyes, literally.

greg@ubuntu:~/gini$ bash
greg@ubuntu:~/gini$ for i in *.pov; do
> povray $i zoni.ink 2>/dev/null
> done


On the internet email group for my local LUG, someone showed me how to do
this. I had a directory of 3000 files (some support includes, etc.)  It
would have been a hopeless mess to work this out any other way.  Now I'm
rendering a 320x240 of every single file that doesn't conk out with an
error message.

Amazing, these 'puters.

This is the first time I've had the sincere conviction that moving to linux
was surefire productivity enhancement. Before it was a political statement
or perhaps a feat just to prove to myself I could do it.
