- No, the wildcard-handling feature will be in 5.1. We actually have
- two unofficial (and non-portable) patches which add wildcards to
- unzip (one for MS-DOS/Borland C and one for OS/2, the executables of
- which were uploaded to ftp-os2 last week; I don't know if it's still
- there or not, but it wasn't any sort of official release). But the
- portable way to do this is with readdir-type routines, and I'm still
- working on that. There are a number of other important and *big*
- modifications going on right now, so it will be a while before this
- even shows up for beta testing.

- Follow-ups (if any) to c.o.os2.apps, or you will die a horrible death...
