Summary:

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.
