Whew, a really easy answer, luckily! (I was used to Turbo C and CC386 only needing WILDARGV.C by itself, hence the many errors when trying to compile without INITARG.H being found). You need both %WATCOM%\SRC\STARTUP\wildargv.c and initarg.h (I just copied 'em to the current dir). Then, you'll see it works:

// TEST.C
#include <stdio.h>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
  int i;

  if (argc > 1) for (i=1; i < argc; i++) printf("%s,",argv[i]);

  return 0;
}

wcl386 -q test
test *.zip (prints "*.zip,")

... or ...

wcl386 -q test wildargv
test *.zip (prints a list of .ZIPs in the current dir)

P.S. You can get WILDARGV.C and INITARG.H in MISC_SRC.ZIP (109k) if you don't already have it. However, it's packed in Deflate64, so use Info-Zip's UNZIP (or p7zip, 7za + HX, etc) if necessary.
