If you used a real shell like tcsh or bash from cygwin (like Dirk was
talking about) then it works fine. ;-) Cygwin is really cool. The problem
is that real shells expand those file globs and pass all the matches into
argv. I guess you have to expand that manually as a programmer on Windoze.
I'll say again, that I know very little about Windows development. All my
C stuff is for Unix or Mac.

It does work great under CygWin, though.
