The program you run to set the flag for * wildcars is at
ab20.larc.nasa.gov in the incoming/amiga dir., it's called
starburst.lzh.

In case you can't get to it, here is the code -

/** starburst.c
*
*   Toggles the bit that controls whether asterisk wildcards are allowed
*   or not. Thanks to Randall jesup!
