Hi Eric
I think the issue is more complicated/ subtle than I first thought. If
you create the structure I showed, you will be able to reproduce the
problem. Two other FreeDos respondents were able to reproduce the
problem. I was perplexed as to why I could not find files that I knew
existed. I thought that it was perhaps a known issue. The work around is
to simply append ".?" to the file being searched for, now that I am
aware of the issue. I will pursue later .. back to real work for now. I
don't think it is a file system issue. More likely the file matching
algorithm which appears to share commonality between various versions of
DOS ... but I am probably way off mark.

Hi!
Not sure whether I can reproduce the problem...
If I have a directory with files 1.2, 3, 4.5 and 6,
DIR and DIR *.* shows all files and DIR * only shows
the files without extension: 3 and 6. DIR *. does
the same. So everything seems to work as expected?
Tested on FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and DOSEMU2-redirects,
with FreeCOM version 0.84-pre2 XMS_Swap Aug 26 2006.
Regards, Eric
