   this is, what I've also still wondered once got aware of this processing   
   schema ... after a while Ward and me discovered the difference in   
   defining the segments mask in the makenl.control file   
      
   with   segment.*   the strict daynumbering schema and automatism will be   
   skipped. The segment will be processed, but nothing happens with the   
   daynumbers extension update   
      
   so there are some advantages and disadvantages of each processing method   
   that makenl offers
