Do I have to? 8-)
 
The point I would like to make is that it is absolutely silly to produce 2 
ZONE1 files on Wednesday with an interval of 2-3 hours, one having the Friday 
Julian-date.
 
There will be another ZONE1-file a day later which may contain more current 
information than the ZONE1-file with Friday's Julian date ... hence on Friday a 
ZONE1-file with non-current information risks to be used when sticking to 
Wednesday's file.
 
All that can be avoided by simply producing a single ZONE1-file every day of 
the week using a single procedure with a single set of region-files and drop 
the Wednesday's version with Friday's Julian date.
 
My opinion as the longest serving nodelist clerc at Zone-level having produced 
so far 1,668 nodelists and maybe the same number of dailylsts.
