There was a message a while back that someone didn't like ARP becuase they
didn't follow Commodore's standards, like wilcard format. Personally I use
the wildcard set supplied by Commodore and get along with it just fine.
However....
I recently received my AmigaVision package. If you look in the manual, page
3-42, "you can use the wildcard characters * and ?". Gee... Commodore
doesn't even support it's own defined standard wildcards. NOW who broke the
standards?
Again, on page 5-6, it only mentions wildcards * and ?. It seems to me that
if Commodore wants things to be the same (which I *highly* endorse), they
should utilize their own standard wildcard characters. Adding additional
characters to this set is fine, but at least support the base set.
