The OS-based approach is to use sed, awk, or perl. See
http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin for a Unix-on-NT compatibility
kit. NT is broken by its omission of such tools.
The SAS way is to use a macrovariable or macro for your filesystem
references. In this case, I'd suggest a global %INCLUDE file for your
set of programs.
