Hello Paul!

26 Sep 18 21:31, you wrote to me:

 Andrew Leary, who maintains the code, has include the patch in v3.4.8
 It is however a bit tricky to use it.

 In hindsight, I think, he probably should not have done it.

 Are you using windows or a unix like OS.?

 The most secure option is to start with an empty master directory, well the
 cporight, prolog and epilog files can stay.

 Then supply the most recent segments to the inbound directory.
 Then run makenl with the current day as publishing day. With the patch
 you can use TODAY as publishing day. That save you the task of changing
 the publishing day or using seven control files.

 Anyway if you run into troubles, let me know, I have tried many variations,
 but solutions vary on what list you are producing.
