Is there a convenient way to archive everything EXCEPT certain notesfiles?
In particular, every week (via cron) I run the following:

nfarchive -14 -d "*"

to delete ALL notesfiles that are 14 days old.  But now, suppose I would like
to archive all notesfiles in this way, except one called "stuff".  I could
replace the "*" with an explicit list of all notesfiles except "stuff" (or
list them in a file and use the -f option) but the list would be hard to
maintain unless it is generated dynamically, but this would be cumbersome.

I have notes version 2.7.

Sorry if this is not an appropriate place to be asking notes questions but
I don't know of a better place.
