There was a problem on the disk, now repaired. But to make good the  
loss caused, I need to rename 13000 files and to do that I need to  
list them all with their full path

	in/folder/folder/foo/bar/file1.jpg
	in/folder1/folder9/foo/bar/file2.jpg
	in/folder6/folder8/foo/bar/file3.jpg
	in/folder56/folder89/foo/bar/file4.jpg

I assume that I can do this with ls, but as usual can't find the  
relevant bit in the man page. Can anyone point me at the appropriate  
command?

Stuffit is innocent, by the way. I just used it to try and open the  
zip created by the Apple utility, which I shall now take great  
pleasure in turning off. Disks are cheaper than rescue operations.
