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

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;
}
