; WILD.ASM This program is used to run any other program (or DOS command)
; by expanding program wild card parameters given on the command
; line. E.g., WILD PROG *.* would run a program, say PROG.EXE,
; multiple times and supply it each time with a file from the
; current directory matching *.* (i.e., every file in the current
; directory would be supplied to PROG for execution).

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; When the WILD environment variable has NOEXT in its assignment string, then
; filename extensions are ignored (not supplied) when commands are passed to
; the DOS EXEC function. This routine will remove any extension from the file-
; name in the DTA placed there by the DOS Find First and Continue File Search
; functions if NOEXT was found in the WILD environment variable. The extension
; is removed by replacing the period separating the main part from the extension
; with a null. Note that if a period is the only part of the filename, then it
; must be the dot representing the current directory so it is not removed.
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; find_size computes the length of a filename in the DTA placed there by the DOS
; find first and continue file search functions. The length of the filename is
; returned in cx (the null character at the end of the ASCIIZ string is included
; in the count). This routine is similar to file_size, qv.

; in the buffer, then more memory is allocated. By using only the memory that

; Here we search for the meaningful values that may be contained in the WILD
; environment variable. These values are QUERY, NOEXT, H, S, and D (capital-
; ization is not significant). The file WILD.DOC gives a description of the
; meaning of each. First the whole string is capitalized and then a search is
; made for QUERY and for NOEXT. The first and/or second bit of the byte
; switches is set depending upon the success of these searches. Then H(idden),
; S(ystem) and D(irectory) values are searched and if found, then corresponding
; bits are set in the file_attr variable. Also data for this and related code
; is defined at the end of this routine.
