I have a set of wildcarding routines that supports this. Plus both standard AmigaDos *and* full ARP wildcards. Plus wildcard expansions of device/volume/assigns. Available on request. Though I suppose I should send 'em to comp.sources.amiga one of these days. * * * >Hey, Tom -- what would be really neat would be a mod to TeX which allows it to >read compressed .tfms from the cache... keep the real ones on the color disks, >though, for compatibility... I've got a tiny routine I use to do this on Unix, using popen(); it's been real handy for dealing with huge files as if they weren't compressed. See, there was this 60 megabyte file, and I thought it should be compressed to 15M, so I did and everybody lived happily ever after. I don't want to screw with reinventing popen() on AmigaDOS, though.
