But we are used to use the wildcard in        a search though directories. In the case of binkd, binkd has the fqn as        parameter and compares it with the wildcard mask.              Kees              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5--b20180707        * Origin: As for me, all I know is that, I know nothing.
