} I wanted to quickly see all non-TIFF files in the TIFF dir.
} So I thought the file pattern must be "^*.tif". But see:
}
} $ cd pics/tiff
} $ ls ^*.tif
} doku04.tif doku04b.tif
}
} Now, both these files certainly do end in ".tif". Huh?
} But now the scary part: doku04.tif does not exist!
Try "echo ^*.tif". I suspect you'll find that what gets echo'd is the
name of a directory, and that in that directory are the two files above.
