Yup, but <progname> has to interpret the glob character, not the shell. ~ If you pass '*.CAD' to a program in bash, bash expands the '*.CAD' to '1.CAD 2.CAD 3.CAD ... N.CAD'. If the resulting string is bigger than the number of arguments a program can take, you're still toast.
Wow, that's cool. I didn't realize that bash did that, but I tried it with my program and it worked. Now if ls can take *.CAD with ~350 files, does that mean that my program should be able to also?
