      Kees,               Kv> From one source two updates are received on Wednesday, one with the       Kv> Wednesday       Kv> daynumber and one with the Friday daynumber. If succesive updates are       Kv> available, on Thursdays the Friday daynumber will be preferred when the       Kv> sort is made on suffix. Sorting on c-date would solve this. For the odd       Kv> occation       Kv> where the above is the case, it is probably not worth the effort to       Kv> have it implemented. I think Ward will agree. ;)               Do I have to? 8-)               The point I would like to make is that it is absolutely silly to produce 2       ZONE1 files on Wednesday with an interval of 2-3 hours, one having the Friday       Julian-date.               There will be another ZONE1-file a day later which may contain more current       information than the ZONE1-file with Friday's Julian date ... hence on Friday       a ZONE1-file with non-current information risks to be used when sticking to       Wednesday's file.               All that can be avoided by simply producing a single ZONE1-file every day of       the week using a single procedure with a single set of region-files and drop       the Wednesday's version with Friday's Julian date.               My opinion as the longest serving nodelist clerc at Zone-level having produced       so far 1,668 nodelists and maybe the same number of dailylsts.                \%/@rd              --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: Resist-Insist-Persist-Enlist / onwardtogether.org (2:292/854)    |
