I manned the "ls" utility and it recommended reporting this to the above email address.
My version of ls is:
ls --version ls (fileutils) 4.1.9 Written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie.

My story:
I was attempting to find all of the *.exe files in a win95 cdrom (troubleshooting an install on an older PC) so I tried the following command:
ls -aR *.exe
while in the mounted CD's win95 directory. I also tried the above without the "a" option with no luck. I even took the wildcard out and used a specific filename such as
ls -aR wowkit.exe
which failed(reported nothing). However, when I used a blanked recursive call through a pipe such as
ls -aR | grep wowkit.exe
reported
wowkit.exe
additionally
ls -aR | grep .exe
successfully reported all of the exe files on the cdrom. Could you please help me fix this?
