-> Can anyone explain why theese listed files match to the selection
-> *~*?

     Probably because you are trying to match the file names "MS-DOS
style" because the long file names [LFN] option of 4DOS hasn't been
turned on yet.  Asterix is a place-holder under MS-DOS, rather than a
regular expression.  4DOS has to dumb itself down to MS-DOS's level so
that it yields the same "brain dead" file match that MS-DOS would give.

     On a much more serious note, does anyone know what happened to the
Channel-1 PC-Board BBS of Boston, Mass., the JP-SOFT 4DOS distribution
BBS ?  Where do I call to get the latest beta demo of the new 4DOS
commands ?  If I can't get 4DOS anymore, then where would I go to get
the latest version of RONSET ?  Thanks


P.S.  Does anyone know why PERL 4.0 retrieves MS-DOS environment
--SYMBOL NAMES-- correctly, but returns a "null string" for the --SYMBOL
VALUES-- ?  Are MS-DOS environment symbol table strings not null-byte
terminated ?  Thanks
