[MacPerl] Droplet to convert Mac filenames to WinNT format?



Before I start to write one, is there a droplet with the following
functionality:

Drop a folder on it, and it will recursively check all filenames to see if
they are WinNT-legal, and produce an error report of illegals, while also
adding the appropriate MSOffice filetype suffix to each file based on its
Mac file type & creator?

---

This set of requirements comes from moving a volume from a Mac fileserver
to an NT machine, and introducing Windows machines...the filenaming
conventions are different, and Win machines only identify filetypes by
extensions...

We are sharing Macs & PCs on the same network, but it makes more sense to
run this utility on the Mac side, as the PCs will *not* open any of he
files with nonlegal names...

cheers
