[comp.lang.c] Command Line Wildcards and Turbo C

tad@killer.UUCP (09/20/87)

One thing that I like about MSC is it includes xSETARGV.OBJ files
to expand command line wildcards.  Is there a way to do this
expansion in TC that I have missed?  I've looked through the docs
and found nothing.  Linking with the MSC files doesn't work
unless I want to use the MSC libraries (which is not always
possible).  I'm trying to find out for sure that TC doesn't have
a solution to this problem before I write a routine myself.
(Has anyone already done this?)


Thanks,
Tad

I wrote some code to do this for Turbo C a while ago.  It replaces
some of the standard startup code, so is invisible to the program, just
like Microsoft's.

A while back I mentioned an earlier version and mailed to about a dozen
people.  I've made some minor improvements and would be glad to distribute
it again.

Send mail.  If enough, I'll post.
