Why would you prefer   exclude.dir '?:\oracle\...\saparch'
I think you may be assuming something that I've missed, and I need to
learn.
- Are the apostrophes significant?
- Why do you leave off the trailing backslash and asterisk?
- Is a ? better than a * as wildcard here (I know one's a single char and
the other's multiple, but here that shouldn't be significant)
