here is my stupid way:
get all the names into a file (on unix), one per line.
Get them into ex (the :-part of vi).
1,$s/.*/mv & &/p
which gives you lines something like (my zeros-count might be wrong):
mv lnk0000000001.dat lnk000000001.dat
Then, do
1,$s/dat lnk0000000/dat lnk/p
which gives you lines like
mv lnk0000000001.dat lnk1.dat
then "source" that file as a set of commands.
Of course remove only enough zeros so that the FINAL one
comes out correct, eg lnk128.dat.
Hope this helps.
