I'm going a little o.t., but here's a way to use 'find' if you want to
perform multiple operations on the results it returns.  Not so easy to
do w/ find's -exec option.  I was banging my head on this a little while
ago, so I thought I'd try to save someone else the frustration.

find /a/path <criteria> -print | while read FNAME; do echo ${FNAME}.xxx, ...; done
