The wildcard expansion just calls a bunch of library functions (the most
important is `glob'), so you can do the same in the application.  (If you
want to glob the command-line arguments, you should disable the globbing
by the startup code, so you get in argv[] the original command line as
passed by DOS.)

It is transparent.  If the machine doesn't have an FPU, the emulator is 
loaded at run time automatically.  For more details, read Chapter 11 of 
the DJGPP FAQ list (available as v2/faq201b.zip from the same place you 
get DJGPP).
