I'm guessing that you invoked your program like this:

	yourprog C:\*.*

Is that right?  If so, av[1] didn't contain "C:\*.*", but the first file 
in the C:\ directory.  That's because the DJGPP startup code 
automatically expands wildcards in all the command-line arguments.  If 
you want to pass the literal "C:\*.*" to a program, enclose it in double 
or single quotes.  When I do that, your program works for me as you'd 
expect: it prints all the files in the C:\ directory.

(That's why I asked you to tell what's in av[1], but I guess you didn't 
actually look... ;-)
