Subject: [TLUG]: Shell script help needed

Folks -

I have a mass of files with names like crw_0858.tiff that I need to
convert to black an white using the following command line.

convert crw_0858.tiff -colorspace Gray output_0858.tiff
convert crw_0859.tiff -colorspace Gray output_0859.tiff

etc

This is beyond my shell-scripting capabilities. Can anyone suggest a
simple shell script that can do this?

Error checking is not required since I'm the only one to run this thing,
and I do it manually.

Thanks in advance...

Peter
