Unlike DOS, where all filenames have an implied dot in them, Unix files don't need them. You can generally specify all files with just `*', though that often doesn't pick up files with a dot at the beginning. Therefore, you may have to additionally specify `.*', but that occasionally also picks up the `..' directory, which can be bad..
