Error -43 (and others) copying poorly named files to Win2k file server 1

[Alt255]

After setting up a Win2k file server for our graphics department, I discovered that thousands of files had been saved on the existing G4 server with illegal characters in their names (/,\,=,<,>, etc.).

I'm unversed in the capabilities of OSX. Can anybody show me a way to make a wholesale substitution of these characters in the names of thousands of files in a complex folder structure?

Many thanks in advance.

Hey Alt,
I used to use "A Better Finder Rename" under OS9. There is an OSX version on

http://www.download.com.

Should help you convert slashes to underscores and so on etc.

Thanks Zel! Works like a champ (forgive the Yank accent, please).
