Or a goofy error like mine above. Drat. The wav2z scriptlet is only
set up for exactly one argument but my use of '+' will had it all (as
many as possible) files at once. That won't work.
Either a for loop in the script OR use a ';' in the find command. At
this point I will cowardly suggest the ';' to force one file at a
time. It is simpler.
find . -mtime $AGE -exec wav2z {} ';'
I should have said I didn't test any of the above. Which is why goofy
errors appear. Untested code is almost always buggy.
