Found the TIC spec in doc FTS-5006.001 which states :
Replaces
This specifies that the file replaces one or more files that
were sent previously. It is up to the receiving system if it
honours this keyword.
The wildcard characters '?' and '*' may be used with the usual
meaning as in MS-DOS.
Some tic processors do not support wild cards and use of
wild cards with this keyword may cause unexpected results.
With the proviso of unexpected results which I assume means that if you use
*.*
it will scrap the lot so any s/w must check that such a first '*' is not less
than the 5 chars etc.
So the question is what does mbse do and more importantly in what program ?
