Incorrect expansion of a program argument that is a special character?

2021-07-21 Thread Ev Drikos via Cygwin
Hello, When I run the program below from my home directory in a PowerShell Console (Windows 8-1) I've to use an extra backslash character as shown below or the star is expanded. Which happens only when the program has been compiled in Cygwin. Is this a bug or a known feature? Ev. Drikos ---
