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?
