There was a message a while back that someone didn't like ARP becuase they 
didn't follow Commodore's standards, like wilcard format.  Personally I use 
the wildcard set supplied by Commodore and get along with it just fine.  
However....
 
I recently received my AmigaVision package.  If you look in the manual, page
3-42, "you can use the wildcard characters * and ?".  Gee...  Commodore 
doesn't even support it's own defined standard wildcards.  NOW who broke the 
standards?

Again, on page 5-6, it only mentions wildcards * and ?.  It seems to me that 
if Commodore wants things to be the same (which I *highly* endorse), they 
should utilize their own standard wildcard characters.  Adding additional 
characters to this set is fine, but at least support the base set.
