Probably a good idea now that you mention it Jon, there are some files
that start with numbers.
Are the alpha's case sensitive?
Meaning should I make one for include "./[0-9]*" "./[A-Z]*" perhaps?
Something like:
coyote PublicA09AZ /home/gene/PublicA {
comp-coyote-tar
include "./[0-9]*" "./[A-Z]*"
] 1 local
to cover everything else? Done.
