These days, nearly everyone who touches a keyboard at work is an IT 
professional, simply because of How Things Are. My job title 
is "optician" but I rarely touch glass anymore. I sit in a chair and 
write code for hours.

I create a directory called "source" and another called "destin", and 
use them for testing switches. Yes, you can specify more than one 
exclusion on the command line, but I've never excluded directories. 
hmm, must try that.

My boss heard about it on the radio. I pased a mention on to Dan 
Gookin, who has written DOS for Dummies books.
