As a newcomer, I'd suggest downloading the file faq101.zip and
reading the DJGPP FAQ list among the docs you read now.  It might
have answers for some of your questions.

It isn't.  In DJGPP, the start-up code does the filename globbing for you
automagically (in DJGPP v1.12, the go32 extender does the most of it
before your program starts, and in v2.0, the start-up code itself will
do it).  For details, see the FAQ list, Chapter 16.
