You mean, the find.exe from my port doesn't work with quoted

Then something was wrong with my reasoning... Hm...
If you compile the simple program below, and then type
echocmd "*find*"
what do you see? And what do you see if you type
echocmd *.c
and
echocmd "*.c"
in a directory with C files?
--------------------------- echocmd.c -----------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i = 0;
printf ("`%s'\n", GetCommandLine ());
while (argc--)
printf ("%d: `%s'\n", i++, *(argv++));
return 0;
}
