Subject: bug with **/ syntax?
Date: Sat, 7 Dec 1996 07:32:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <199612071232.HAA06845@sassy.aa.ans.net> (raw)

I'm trying to get the behavior of ksh's */, which according to the zsh
man page, looks like you should use **/ to get that behavior.  To me it
looks like **/ is really acting like ***/.

Examples below.

So is this a bug or am I not reading the man page correctly?

Matthew.
