Subject: Unix and VMS agree on "*" as a "match any number of any chars"
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a3987cb85d43c4b5e6f04382a9391c4ec5aa26ad;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

Unix and VMS agree on "*" as a "match any number of any chars"
wildcards, but differ ("?"  vs.  "%") for their "match any single
char" wildcard.  This patch changes "?"  chars to "%" before doing a
VMS glob...at no loss of functionality, since "?"  isn't a valid
filename char on VMS.  From Charles Lane.
