Copy File wildcards

    From: Henry Lieberman <Henry at MIT-OZ>

    In Symbolics 3600 Release 6.0 Beta IIc, microcode TMC5-MIC 315, FEP 18, on Lisp Machine Apiary-5:

    I said M-x Copy File of Oz:<Henry>*.* to AP6:
    This worked Pre-Six.

    >>Error: Attempt to translate pathname OZ:OZ:<HENRY>3D.BIN.2, but it doesn't match the pattern.
	     The translation was OZ:PS:<HENRY>*.*  AP6:>Henry>.
    While in the function (:METHOD FS:PATHNAME :TRANSLATE-WILD-PATHNAME)  ZWEI:COM-COPY-FILE  ZWEI:COM-EXTENDED-COMMAND

    (:METHOD FS:PATHNAME :TRANSLATE-WILD-PATHNAME):  (P.C. = 26)
       Arg 0 (SELF): #<TOPS20-PATHNAME "OZ:PS:<HENRY>*.*">
       Arg 1 (SELF-MAPPING-TABLE): #<Map to flavor FS:PATHNAME -- 8. IV's, 1. FL's 106506473>
       Arg 2 (OPERATION): :TRANSLATE-WILD-PATHNAME
       Arg 3 (WILD-PATHNAME): #<LMFS-PATHNAME "AP6:>Henry>">
       Arg 4 (SOURCE-PATHNAME): #<TOPS20-PATHNAME "OZ:OZ:<HENRY>3D.BIN.2">
       Local 5 (PATTERN): #<TOPS20-PATHNAME "OZ:PS:<HENRY>*.*.*">

    ZWEI:COM-COPY-FILE:  (P.C. = 231)

A number of far-reaching problems with pathname translation and
completion were fixed after 6.0 Beta IIc was made, and will be in the
real Release 6.0.  I'm pretty sure they include the case you ran into.

Others please correct me if that's not true.
