Our beloved Engineering Network Services has changed the
college of engineering domain name from lance.colostate
to engr.colostate.  As a result, all occurences of
"http:/www.lance..." should change to "http://www.engr...".

I am not a script guru but I think that there should
be a way of doing it with a script which will trace
a whole directory structure (including sub directories)
find all occurences of the old URL and replace it with
the new one.  This script will involve the find, grep
and awk commands.  But I have no clue, neither the
time to invest, to find out how.

Is there any gentle soul our there that has a similar
script or could produce one with a few keystrokes?

Regards,
Leo Irakliotis
