 Possible leap-year bug 
  
 
MSGID: 1:229/426 592B6B90
TZUTC: -0500
When MakeNL runs, I believe the day of year is stored in file in the Master 
directory called Sequence.dat. I believe there is a problem with the creation 
of the Zone 1 dailies where the CTL file does not use a weekday parameter but
is forcing creation every day.

When the day is 366 and then the new-year begins, the file appears not to be 
updated and thus a nodelist is always generated for day 366 unless the 
sequence file is erased. This problem I believe does not happen when the 
weekday parameters *are* used. The correct nodelist is still generated... just
an extra one ending in 366.

The message I posted in Z1C about the "slight change" was to always nuke the 
sequence.dat file in the creation of the Dailies. So far, no .366 nodelist has
been generated.
