Earnie,

What does alphabetizing the files have to do with anything?

If I name a specific file, shouldn't it be excluded no matter where it 
comes in the list?

Here is my command line:
         @tar -zcvf $(TARBALL) Makefile *.c *.h ./tracer/* \
            License Readme version ./monitor/*  --exclude=./monitor/monitor.o

Thanks,

Matt
