Using Notepad (or whatever you use for a text editor), create a file with the following line in it:

for %%a in (*.prc) do mobi2mobi "%%a" --booktype "257" --outfile "%%a"

Save it as makeper.cmd in either the directory where you have the ebooks you want to convert, or a directory where you generally save your script/batch files (you could save it in the directory where mobi2mobi resides if you like).

Open a command (DOS) window and navigate to the directory where your .prc files are stored. Run makeper and all the .prc files in that directory should be changed to the new booktype. (I would create a backup of my books first, just in case of problems).

Hope that helps?

EDIT: Just read Bob's reply above. If this is a "one off" task, do it that way (just enter the command). If perhaps you'll want to do this task again in the future, creating the batch/cmd file might be useful.
