This is tangential to your question, but I shouldmention that in Unix, you
shouldn't try to specify all files with `*.*'.  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..

Just in case you weren't confused enough already ;-)
