Another minor difference is that in DOS, *. gets files without extensions,
while the same in posix globbing doesn't get anything. I guess it's
trying to find filenames that end in periods.

Speaking of wildcards... I have completed my version of Unix 'whence'.
It isn't a direct port but rather my own program built from scratch. As far
as I can tell, however, it works just fine. Since it isn't something
specific to DJGPP, I probably shouldn't u/l it here, but as I mentioned
before I am limited in how I can do uploads from my Genie account to
the Net. Would anybody be willing to receive a uuencoded email and
upload it to an ftp site or something similar? Maybe I'll end up trying
AOl after all...
Thanks
John
