                    Files like 0e051e42 and 16050509?

When I use zoo for backing up my hard disk, I always get two files
included which start with a digit and sometimes contain hex letters
as well.  Can someone tell me what these are and if there is any way
to prevent putting these files in the archive?

I'm using a batch file to do the backup for me and when I come out of it,
the files are no longer around (although you can see them with Norton 
Utilities).  Does DOS create these temporarily?

Thanks in advance,
