|    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.              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? (1:229/426)    |
