hello...

i've written a C program and compiled both a Unix and DOS version,
the Unix version correctly expands its wildcard argument  like *.jpg 
into its constituent files while the DOS version do nothing...
Can anyone suggest solution to make it work in DOS...

(i know that the Unix's shell do the work of wildcard expansion
before passing them to my program, and observing this behaviors 
in DOS, does it imply that command.com simply leave this task to 
programmer???)

thanks a lot..

Herman
