Here is my problem, I am running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 with 60 megs for Xenix and 
20 megs for DOS. While under Xenix I am trying to copy several (144) files 
from the DOS partition using doscp. Here is the command I use:
             doscp c:clips/exe/*.* *.*
I would think this command would copy all files in the exe directory to the 
current Xenix directory, but I get an error message like: can't find *.*
 Now I can do a dosls c:clips/exe and get a directory listing and I can copy
1 file at a time but I can't seem to do a wildcard copy. Am I missing something
here? I can't find any more than the basic 'how to use it' in the manuals so no
help there. If I can't use wildcards with doscp then I had an idea but am not
sure how to do it: do a dosls c:clips/exe >> files then somehow via a clever
shell program, cat the file and send the output to doscp to copy each file
over 1 at a time. Sound reasonable? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
