Q67794: NMAKE Does Not Expand Wildcard Characters

Page 107 of the "Advanced Programming Techniques" manual that shipped
with Microsoft C version 6.00 states:

   NMAKE expands wild cards in target names when it reads the
   description file.

NMAKE does not expand these wildcard characters when passing the
wildcard to the compiler. The example given works correctly because
the compiler expands the wildcard on its own. If you use a compiler
that does not expand wildcards, the example given will not work.
