HLA.EXE under Windows now supports the use of wildcard characters.
E.g., "hla -c *.hla" will compile all the HLA files to OBJ files in
the current directory.
Whether the need it, or not. It would be more useful if, like make, it
only compiled those files which were newer than their corresponding
object files.

Sounds like a job for make to me.
The reason for adding this functionality to the Windows version of HLA
is because the Linux version has had it since day one (globbing is
done by the shell). Further, other assemblers, such as MASM, support
this facility. Makes sense to add the functionality to HLA. Further,
that's functionality that people might intuitively expect; a make
simulation is not.
As for trying to do what make does, if I was really going to be
ambitious, I'd skip all that old-fashioned noise and write a parallel
build system that ran multiple copies of HLAPARSE in different threads
and maybe even distribute the builds across machines on the network
(like, say, XCODE does on the Mac). Make is so... two decades ago. :-)
