** Open the input file with "r".
** Create a new empty output file with "w".
** Copy the bytes you want from the input file to the output file.
** Add the 'suffix' stuff to the output file.
** Close both files.
** Delete or rename the input file.
** Rename the output file to the input file name.


There is no built-in function to delete or rename files but you can use the
system command to do these type of things.
