The "find.exe" in this package http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/findutils-4.2.30-w32-bin.zip/download
produces: * * *C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name *find** *find: paths must precede expression* *Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]* * * *C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name "*find*"* *find: paths must precede expression* *Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]* whether or not name quoted. The "find.exe" in this package http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ produces: C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name *find* .\cedet\semantic\db-find.el .\cedet\semantic\db-find.elc .\cedet\semantic\find.el .\cedet\semantic\find.elc .\cedet\srecode\find.el ... C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name "*find*" .\cedet\semantic\db-find.el .\cedet\semantic\db-find.elc .\cedet\semantic\find.el .\cedet\semantic\find.elc .\cedet\srecode\find.el ... I don't know why. I think the second "find.exe" is more powerful in my env..
