   Hello mark.

   The julian date extension is the default for ALL diffs and lists.  It, I don't   
   think, would not show up anywhere in your normal config file - it's how the   
   segments are normally transmitted after whichever program has produced them.   
   E.g., Net9000.018 or Net9000.242.  It's the intended distribution date; that's   
   what MakeNL is looking at in the Master directory and calculating the file's   
   relative age from that extension.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Marc
