1. Does the "ls" command give all files, including "hidden" files, as a
standard?
2. Does the expansion of * in commands include hidden files.

I ask that question in order to know whether a command like "zip" or
"cp" wil/can/will not include hidden files.
The reason of this question is to perform backups of some directories,
INCLUDING hidden files (not done by pkzip for example).
