Quite possible, as I think those DOS boxes may not use the old DOS FCB
routines - they probably use the LFN routines, which might quite possibly
handle wildcards differently than the original DOS routines did. (Also, I
think command.com might parse dir arguments itself before passing them on
to int21, and of course NT's cmd.exe does not use int21 at all)

Then again, perhaps DOS 7+ really do parse FCBs differently than e.g. DOS
3.x did. The best way to know is probably to test (int21 ah=0x29 should do
the trick).
