well if the truth be known...
in the begining i didn't even *know* what 'mailing list archives' to look through. my response to mr. Pavel Tsekov was a personal email, meant to be taken light heartedly, and was, incidentally, a form of a 'thank-you' for his answer to my question (see below). i agree that it is more effective to look through the already answered questions. had i known *where* to start maybe i wouldn't have posted to this list! i saw the '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' email address *while* i was searching on 'google' trying to find an answer to the wildcard question... and supposed that someone in support over at cygwin would get it and respond. i admit i was confused and sorely mistaken. so i apologize *profusely* for wasting your time. again i thank mr. Tsekov for his answer (not for forwarding my response on to the rest of you on this list). and thank you mr Larry Hall for your correction. i'll try much harder to be more courtious in the future. so unless someone else has a comment about this already very dead horse, i'll continue in peace the project that i was working on when i first had the question about wildcards. thank you all and have a nice day. one last thing - i just tried searching the mailing list and the answer popped up so easily!! thanks so much for teaching me this valuable resource!! > >No need to e-mail me personally.
