   ML> The julian date extension is the default for ALL diffs and lists.  It, I   
   ML> don't think, would not show up anywhere in your normal config file - it's   
   ML> how the segments are normally transmitted after whichever program has   
   ML> produced them. E.g., Net9000.018 or Net9000.242.  It's the intended   
   ML> distribution date; that's what MakeNL is looking at in the Master   
   ML> directory and calculating the file's relative age from that extension.   
       
   I haven't followed this discussion but I don't think it is any of makenl's   
   busyness (pun intended) what the relative age of a segment is and based upon   
   that accept or reject it.   
       
   As a ZC I have to accept that whatever is sent to me by an RC is correctly   
   named and CRC'd, and if nothing newer is received then whatever's in the   
   master-directory "is" correct, whatever its age.   
       
   There is the exception of course for the odd case where you receive a zone   
   segment ZONEx.104 of 2012 when it should have been ZONEx.004 of 2013.
