Not sure about the attribute for the quote, but here goes: If you compile GAWK with TURBO-C++ 1.0 then you can link it a special way that allows you to have wildcards to your hearts content. You need to add the "WILDCARD.OBJ" file to your link. Check out the manual for all the details. I don't know if previous versions of Turbo-C have this or not. Maybe someone should compile it with TC++ and "post" the results to SIMTEL20..... Warner -- Warner Losh imp@Solbourne.COM Boycott Lotus. #include
