Are there any shells for the amiga (either commercial or freely redist.) that actually do the wildcard expansion, rather than the program having to do it? In other words, if I have a directory containing: foo.1 foo.2 foo.txt and I have written a SAS/C program which simply scans argc and argv and prints out all its command line arguments (call it arg, say) and I do: > arg foo.? *.txt in that shell, then foo.1 foo.2 foo.txt will be the output of my program. Are there any such beasties? -- Rich Carreiro The "War on Drugs" ARPA: rlcarr@athena.mit.edu is merely a smokescreen for UUCP: ...!mit-eddie!mit-athena!rlcarr The War on the Constitution BITNET: rlcarr@athena.mit.edu JITTLOV FOREVER!
