That is under "C++ Language Reference", but Ethereal is written in C, isn't it?
Yes, but that doesn't mean that the items in question don't apply to it; Microsoft's C and C++ compiler are part of the same package, and, as far as I know, the same low-level language support is used for C and C++ (especially given that the whole reason to do wildcard expansion is for UN*X compatibility, and a lot of UN*X software is written in C). 


Out of the box, mergecap does not support wildcards in Windows as it is now,
at least in my W2K:

C:\Program Files\Ethereal>mergecap -w xx.cap *.cap
mergecap: skipping *.cap: No such file or directory
Are there any files with names ending in ".cap" in the Ethereal installation directory (that being the directory in which you're running mergecap, and hence the directory in which it'll be looking for those files)?
