AOS/VS has completely different wildcard characters from UNIX, VMS, etc.
They are listed in the AOS/VS Appendix of "Using C-Kermit" (Table V-1 on
page 548 of the 2nd Edition). Very roughly:
+ is like *
* is like ?
- is like * except stops at .
^ is like .. (in UNIX) or like - (in VMS)
# is like ... (in VMS)
