1. Renaming Files
Guys 'n' Gals,
I'm converting a DOS installer program to Windows, and I'll need a little
help now 'n' then, I think.
My first query is how can I rename files with Win32 code? The DOS version
was using "rename()" from Daniel Bertein's "dos.e" code. I just want a
simple "rename( old_name , new_name )" procedure that will work with the
Windows interpreter, if anybody has it.
Thanks!

If you're using win32lib, then you have the moveFile function, else you c=
an download win32fil library that support that too, or wrap it yourself.

3. Re: Renaming Files
Dear Ted,
I did search the archives and found Win32Fil.ew, but didn't realize that
MoveFile could function the same as "rename." I should have known that,
though! 
Thanks for the verbal abuse,
ck

Thanks Guillermo,
I've updated the library to create an alias for moveFile() called
renameFile().
