Holy Smokes Joe ... your a freakin genius!!! WELL DONE SIR!

Maybe someone has some free time, but clearly we need a way to send out a notice to as many as possible.

Or perhaps there is a better way to let eve...

Preferably a fast and simple technique that is not dependent on file extension.
I need to process many files.
