C:\fos>fossil test-echo * g.nameOfExe = [C:\fos\fossil.exe] argv[0] = [fossil] argv[1] = [test-echo] argv[2] = [_FOSSIL_] argv[3] = [fossil.exe] argv[4] = [db.fossil] argv[5] = [test.cmd] Is this what it's supposed to look like? test.cmd contains: ECHO %1 When I run it: C:\fos>test.cmd * C:\fos>ECHO * * So, it works for test.cmd but not for Fossil. Windows (and DOS previously) include simple command prompts as compared to posix. They do virtually no command line processing, leaving it to each program to process the command as it wants. So Windows does pass the asterisk to fossil. The C run time start up code expands the asterisk before passing control to fossil's main function.
