Here's the dos batch code. I note that in my original post that I failed to mention that the original files I am working with also get moved off to an archive, unmodified. There's never a filename conflict because each original file has a date name ( s082607.log, etc ). I've explained each step in the process. I have no doubt this dos batch could be more efficient but I am no dos batch pro. The script did work correctly for over 3 years in both NT4 and Win2K. It just doesn't run under wine NT4 or Win2k emulation even though the drive and directory layouts remain the same. Perhaps the wine cmd interpreter doesn't like the code or something.

Code:
:::: Find all logs except most recent ::::
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b /o-d "d:\buzzard\logs\s-series\*.log" ')

:::: Append a text header message to each found file and copy to a temp dir :::::
do copy d:\buzzard\scripts\addon.txt+d:\buzzard\logs\s-series\"%%a" d:\buzzard\temp\sendlogs\s-series\"%%a"

::::: Rename modified files :::::
ren d:\buzzard\temp\sendlogs\s-series\*.log *.101

::::: Move the modified files to a mail queue for future delivery ::::
move d:\buzzard\temp\sendlogs\s-series\*.101 e:\promail\queue\

::::: Move originals - except most recent - off to an archive :::::
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%b in ('dir /a-d /b /o-d "d:\buzzard\logs\s-series\*.log" ') do move d:\buzzard\logs\s-series\"%%b" "f:\buzzard\logs\s-series\

scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid

SCROLLKEEPER-UPDATE(1)					      General Commands Manual					    SCROLLKEEPER-UPDATE(1)

NAME

       scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid - generate a unique id for a document series for use in an OMF metadata file

SYNOPSIS

       scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid

DESCRIPTION

       This  generates	a  unique id for use as the seriesid attribute to the relation element in the OMF metadata.  This id is referred to as the
       "series id" or "seriesid".

       The seriesid is used to specify a group (or series) of documents which are related.  For example, multiple versions, formats, and  transla-
       tions  of  a  single document are considered to be in the same series.  Thus, any new version, translation, etc. of a pre-existing document
       should inherit the seriesid of the original document.  Only document series which have never been assigned a seriesid in  the  past  should
       use scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid to obtain a new seriesid.

       ScrollKeeper uses the seriesid of documents to identify which documents are related to each other.  For example, when creating the contents
       list, ScrollKeeper must identify if two documents are in the same series in order to display the most complete set of documents on the sys-
       tem,  using  locale  fallback  for  documents  which may not be translated into a given locale, without displaying the same document in two
       locales.
