Since cmd.exe doesn't do any globbing, the following should presumably work:

    H:\ef>find . -name *.c -print
    find: paths must precede expression
    Usage: find [path...] [expression]
    H:\ef>

I'm actually using the early zsh release, and get the same result when I run
`find . -name *.c -print' .

Oddly, this does work under bash.  Can anyone explain this?

Thanks,

    --- John
