   there is a general problem here ....   
      
   it exist 2 working modes with makenl   
      
   a. the strict numbering schema   
        upcoming fridays julian daynumber +  x-7 + x-14 + x-21 + x-28   
                  + x-35 + x-42   
      
      if you have a segment.362 (one day ahead of last fridays daynumber)   
      the segment will be ignored totaly (!)   
      This routine still handles the "cleanup" procedure, so it automaticly   
      takes care, that the working directory keeps clean   
      disadvantage:   
      but segment daynumber files out of sequence still remains in the working   
      directory unkept and untouched, fully ignored   :-P   
      also segments older than 6 weeks cannot be used   
      advantage:   
      if an segment has been found once while in the correct sequence range   
      in the case no new update will be received by the coordinator, makenl   
      updates the segment file automaticly to the newly daynumber. So if a   
      downlink coordinator sends no new segment for 6 months, makenl   
      has incremented the daynumber of the existing segment upto the current   
      state after 6 months   
      the segment parameter in the control file has to be   
              segment   
        -or-  segment.   
      
   b. The full free numbering   
      the disadvantage is, that the cleanup no longer works   
      so your working directory gets filled with lot of old segment files :-(   
      don't know exactly which segment gets picked up in case multiple of   
      one segment file is there   
      the segment parameter in the control file has to be   
              segment.*
