   Possible leap-year bug   
      
   
   MSGID: 1:229/426 592B6B90   
   TZUTC: -0500   
   When MakeNL runs, I believe the day of year is stored in file in the Master    
   directory called Sequence.dat. I believe there is a problem with the creation    
   of the Zone 1 dailies where the CTL file does not use a weekday parameter but   
   is forcing creation every day.   
      
   When the day is 366 and then the new-year begins, the file appears not to be    
   updated and thus a nodelist is always generated for day 366 unless the    
   sequence file is erased. This problem I believe does not happen when the    
   weekday parameters *are* used. The correct nodelist is still generated... just   
   an extra one ending in 366.   
      
   The message I posted in Z1C about the "slight change" was to always nuke the    
   sequence.dat file in the creation of the Dailies. So far, no .366 nodelist has   
   been generated.
