This may be kind of dumb, but I use a shell script. Recipe follows -

dosdir 0 > out1

(remove leading and trailing stuff from out1, leaving only filenames)
(  I haven't written a script to do this but I should. )

tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" < out1 > out2
rm out1

for i in `cat out2`
do
  echo $i
  dosread -a 0 $i > $i
done

- And that does it. If your industrious enough, you may want to write a
  more robust (flexible) script and post it.  So far, I just keep
  re-making the wheel when I need it.
