I do this fairly often with BBEdit (sorry, Mac only), both Lite and Pro,
across hundreds of files simultaneously. I have never had any problems with
it aside from occasional RAM cram. It also searches recursively through
subdirectories if you tell it to, and has several options for reporting,
saving, and verifying replacements.

Aw, why focus on the negative? Let's hear what *works*. I'd like to be able
to recommend something to my poor benighted Windows colleagues! <duck>
