A dissenting view...

[Matt Dillon prefers Amiga file naming conventions and hates the wildcards]

I prefer the Amiga wildcards... they're a more complete regular expression
syntax than UNIX's... but the file naming conventions are very hard to deal
with. UNIX file names with an optional prepended device name would have been
better. Best would be something like:

	//dev/path/file

I'm currently using a network that uses this convention for remote file
systems. It works rather well.

[The original poster thinks the Amiga file names are the worst part of Amiga
 DOS]

No, the gross misbehaviour of the Execute() call is.
