w2u

   winblast2unix is a handy script written in Perl for dealing with files/directories you import from a Windows partition or Windows-made disk. What it does is twofold:

   - Translates all those pesky whitespaces in filenames and directories to the underscore character.

   - Executes a mass chmod on the files; 755 for executables, like directories, .exe, .dll and .com files and 644 for everything else.

   w2u has user "restriction" for multi-user environments, where all users of a common programs folder may not be trusted.

   Though simple, it can be a powerful tool. Please read fully the accompanying README file.

NEW!

   w2u-1.1 released! More powerful substitution of non-readable characters and adds optional translation or stripping of non-english characters.
