Yes, there are:

C:\Program Files\Ethereal>dir *.cap

<...>

02/11/2004  17:05            1.137.264 t2.cap

02/11/2004  07:57                5.561 tt.cap

C:\Program Files\Ethereal>mergecap -w xx.cap *.cap
mergecap: skipping *.cap: No such file or directory
mergecap: No valid input files

So I've been exploring a bit, and what seems to happen is that you need to explicitly link setargv.obj for wildcard expansion to work; by default a dummy _setargv is used that does not expand. 

Does someone know if is there an elegant way to include setargv.obj in every executable in makefile.nmake, or do I need to add it in every line?
