You can forget "dos" [sic].

In win2000:

=============================
:: get - ouy of file name
:: nohyph Wed 06-05-2009 13:59:33.01

@echo off & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('dir/b/a-d') do (
set name=%%~Na
set name=!name:-=!
echo ren %%a !name!%%~Xa
)


=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
