   on tests with the makenl_ng I had an older copy of my live working directory   
   for makenl on another disk. After some bugfixings, that tooks a while, I've   
   copied the new makenl.exe to the test disk and was still wondering, why the   
   new makenl did not found any of the existing segments  :-P   
      
   As Ward mentions about "old" segments ... I've also 2 "older" segment files in   
   my working directory, so they've been never found, once got aware about the   
   strict file extension numbering schema ...   
   later Ward reported, some other issues and I've tried to reproduce   
   the scenario, but couldn't find the trigger ...   
   after several mails forth and back, the only difference was the   
   segments definition schema Ward used and I've used to reproduce the issues.   
      
   As the definition with .* changes the file search routine completely, and I've   
   fixed the definitions in my test environment, I've also could reproduce the   
   issues Ward reported   
   All in all, it was still trial and error until we've got it fixed.   
      
   section 3.2 Generic File Name and 3.3 Explicit Filename and 6.3.6 CLEanup   
   in makenl's docu gives some info, but no info how makenl   
   switches between 2 process modes dependent of the makenl.config definition   
   and under which circumstances the update of file extensions of segment files   
   will happen in the working directory  :-P   
      
   Probably we should create a FAQ for makenl_ng with all found issues and   
   their related answers ;)
