Re: [h-e-w] find-dired does not work on emacs24 + win + mingw

The "find.exe" in this package

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/findutils-4.2.30-w32-bin.zip/download 

produces:

C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name *find*

find: paths must precede _expression_

Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [_expression_]

C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name "*find*"

find: paths must precede _expression_

Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [_expression_]

whether or not name quoted.

The "find.exe" in this package

http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

produces:

C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name *find*

.\cedet\semantic\db-find.el

.\cedet\semantic\db-find.elc

.\cedet\semantic\find.el

.\cedet\semantic\find.elc

.\cedet\srecode\find.el

...

C:\emacs\lisp>find . -name "*find*"

.\cedet\semantic\db-find.el

.\cedet\semantic\db-find.elc

.\cedet\semantic\find.el

.\cedet\semantic\find.elc

.\cedet\srecode\find.el

...

I don't know why.

I think the second "find.exe" is more powerful in my env..

What do you mean "can not run"?  You need to quote the *foo* part, but
otherwise it works for me.  If you quote it, what do you see?
