Yes, it's quite dumb code.  It doesn't even work correctly if one of the
files doesn't exist.  However it works perfectly for what I originally
devised it for, which is using Windows editors from cygwin, as in I have
the line

alias ue="dodos /path/to/uedit32.exe $@"

in .profile, and so I can issue commands like "ue /etc/hosts*" or "ue
~/project/foo*.c" to edit files with UltraEdit as if it was a
cygwin-aware application.  Surely it will choke on arguments and almost
anything else except globs referring to existing files.
