    integer i=0; for f in *; do mv $f $[i+=1].$f; done

} Btw, "leading zeroes" would be a bonus.

How many leading zeros?  I'm guessing 3 digits total would be OK:

    typeset -Z 3 i=1 ; for f in *; do echo $f $i.$f; ((++i)); done

Too bad $[i+=1] doesn't respect the typeset flags of `i' when printing.
