Nice! Thanks for this, Patrick! It works just right. Now I have to
look at it to figure out *why* it works the way it does ;-) I haven't
used that sort of construct before...

Instead of basename you could use the built in string manipulation stuff
this:

srcfile=`basename $1`

FILENOEXTENSION=${srcfile%.*}

It does the same thing as basename, but more generally. In particular
is says to strip off of the end of a string a pattern. In this case our
pattern is simple, just a period followed by anything.
