Excluding file only in root folder

[craniac]

Using pacomp I am trying to zip up a folder tree that contains a web.config file in the root folder as well as in sub-folders.

I wish to exclude the one in the root directory but include the ones in sub-folders. Is this possible?

If I use -xweb.config or -x"\web.config" then all web.config files are excluded and if I use -x".\web.config" then none of the web.config files are excluded.

The rest of the command I'm using (with the questionable exclusion represented by ???) is

pacomp -a -r -p ??? -x"bin\*.config" FMWeb.zip FMWeb\*.*

The other exclusion command works correctly to exclude other .config files from the bin sub-folder.

Two possibilities I can think of off the top of my head (not tried) -

1. include the root folder name
-x"FMWEB\web.config"

2. create and use a @list of all the files to be excluded.
