One oddity of msdos 6.22 I found today involves the
msdos find command.
If a directory has 4 files in it that have
file extensions of .1, and a find command is
issued targeting those files msdos reports no files found.
The specific command I used was:
find /i "begin" *.1 <cr>
The specific files were part of Mike Arst's u-sedit.zip
package found on the simtel mirrors.  Interestingly, an analogous grep
command didn't fail.

UNIX is user friendly, it's just selective as to who its friends are.
