UN*X shells expand wildcards in the shell, and pass the resulting list of file names to the application; Windows console shells expect the application to do so.
However, I had the impression that the Microsoft C/C++ startup code would expand wildcards before calling main(), so that the UN*X way of doing things in an app (relying on wildcards being expanded for you) works. It sounds as if either
1) that's not the case
or
2) you have to do something to enable it, and we're not doing so.
