    From a small script I wrote to automate the process of taking Asheron's
Call screen shots and tossing them up on a web page for my allegiance to
enjoy:

    def cvt(self, ext):
        files = os.listdir('.')
        for x in range(len(files)):
            oldfile = files[x]
            newfile = '%s.%s' % (oldfile[:-4], ext)
            os.system('%s %s %s' % (self.convert, oldfile, newfile))


    Oh, and don't ask me why I did x in range(len(files)) instead of just x in
files, I just did, it works, haven't changed it yet.  :)

    Anyway, self.convert is the path to convert and it takes the extension to
convert the graphics to.
