Actually, I should be asking, is there an easier way than the way I'm doing
it now as in my batch file below:

stuff / -modified ! -name *.bak ! -name temp.* | zoo aIunP diffback
zoo -delete diffback 0-9

I'd like to be able to avoid including numbered files in the archive in the
first place but it appears stuff won't allow the 0-9 to represent "all files
starting with any of the digits 0 through 9".  My only alternative is to 
include "! -name 0* ! -name 1* ... !-name 9*" in the stuff part, but that 
will really slow things down if every file needs to be compared against all
of those.

Oh well, perhaps I should suggest to the author that he include the 0-9
capability in stuff.
