But did you read the rest of Hyman's sentence?  I just tested it too,
and "unzip archive *.adb" WILL expand *.adb, if there any *.adb files
existing in the current directory.  And csh won't work whether or not
there are *.adb files.  So it's definitely not correct to say that
*.adb won't be expanded on Unix, because "Unix" is not a synonym for
"Bourne shell".

I don't think so.
