- This Program can be started up in your Workbench WBStartup drawer,
- or your user-startup file, to allow DOS to accept asterisk as a wild card
- character instead of the default #? pattern. For Compatiblity with Amiga
- DOS applications, a single * is not sufficient, you need to use at least
- 2 characters such as: a*, b*, c*, or ** when you use the asterisk wildcard.
- (A single asterisk is used by AmigaDOS to mean the current console.)
-
- Examples:
- -------------------------------
- 10.System2.0:C> togglewildcard
-
- 10.System2.0:C> dir a*
- AddBuffers Assign
- Avail
-
- 10.System2.0:C> copy ** Commands QUIET
