   Important to note here - it's NOT the file date that MakeNL is looking at,   
   it's the julian extension which it apparently calculates on the fly based on   
   the system date/time as to which extensions are acceptable.   
      
   Here's what I'm talking about from the debug log.  This example is for Net 117   
   where the [latest] file I have on hand has extension ".323":   
      
   -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CUT-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

   -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CUT-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-   
      
   And ZAP, Net 117 disappears from the compilation, along with all the others   
   that are older than MakeNL thinks they should be.  Faulty logic, Mr. Spock.   
      
   And I still haven't heard back from Andrew. :(   
      
   Best regards,
