This small utility renames a file based upon the first character of the
filename, the file creation date, and the filename extension. The utility
was developed to support a tracking system for incoming telex type
messages on a personal computer. The filename is encoded as:

LYYMMDDS.xxx, where
L = first character of original filename
YY = two digit year of file creation
MM = two digit month of file creation
DD = two digit date of file creation
S = sequence letter (A - Z) for files
created on any single day
xxx= original file extension

The utility is written mostly in C, with the video services performed
by a small assembly library, included.

This is one of my first forays into 'C' -- my previous experience is in
assembly and Fortran. I can be contacted on MCI Mail as 'DSKOLNICK'.
