Exclude lists have always been a struggle for me. It is GREAT to see
someone's working example. (Realizing that my setup may end up different
from someone else's.)
I like the idea of Michael Stowe's use of vshadow and his capturing an
image that is backed up (please do not berate me if my description of
Mr. Stowes work is slightly incorrect. I am still studying all this and
deciding what to do. So, I make the previous statement off my memory.
Which might be incorrect.)
Having said that, I like the idea of how cygwin does it "thing."
Thanks for your input!!
