   there are to options for the receiving coordinator   
      
   a. an ordered submitting of new segments   -or-   
   b. a configuration option in the makenl control file -> cleanup   
      disadvantage: this requires a strict numbering schema   
      so a segment with daynumber .360 for friday nodelist .361 won't be   
      accepted :-P   
      
   but option b. exists, so the old segment .354 will be automaticly updated   
   to .361 on the receiving coordinators working directory   
   no requirement to send in a weekly segment.   
      
   There is problem: starting with the new makenl deployment, at the very first   
   time, all subsegments have to be in the timeframe of daynumbers makenl will   
   search.   
   Workaround: manualy rename the segments to the appropiate daynumber   
   This is a one-time job by the receiving coordinator

   what are the problems ?!?   
   nothing heard yet   
      
      
    JK>> R17C's problem may have been fixed by running a DOS version of   
    JK>> 3.4.1, we're waiting to hear about that.
