# @(#) newext.sh 1.1 93/04/13
# 90/06/06 john h. dubois iii ([email protected])
# 90/11/14 changed ksh-specific code to hybrid: if running under Bourne,
#          uses expr instead of ksh builtin ops.  Removed SYSV specific code.
# 91/08/06 added -t option
# 92/11/06 made earlier code actually work!
# 93/04/13 If no filenames given, act on files in current dir

be executed if -t was not given."
