VILS
This little script enables you to ``edit an ls'', i.e. it will load a list of filenames into your favourite editor (presumably vi). Any changes to the filenames will result in renaming the respective files.
Originally from http://www.secnetix.de/~olli/scripts/Generic-utilities/ but the original source has gone. This incarnation uses POSIX shell.
