I assume I did not receive a response to my original message because:
* I posted the message with a confusing subject
* I posted the message during a mean-time at which knowledgable
hackers around the globe are:
** drinking beers!
** sleeping
** too busy flaming over-zealous users
* The subject of the posted message was not specifically FreeBSD related
* I did not afford the greatest effort to finding a solution and thus
repelled many battle-tested hackers.
In any case, I believe the latter is most likely. I will try to
incorporate into my rudimentary scripts a pipe function through ls that
will sort the filenames in alpha-numeric order and feed them back to
tar. Er... what a pain. A simple solution is right in front of me, I'm
sure. Enterprise archive management for UNIX? Where is it? Does
anyone need/want it?
