The julian date extension is the default for ALL diffs and lists.  It, I don't 
think, would not show up anywhere in your normal config file - it's how the 
segments are normally transmitted after whichever program has produced them. 
E.g., Net9000.018 or Net9000.242.  It's the intended distribution date; that's 
what MakeNL is looking at in the Master directory and calculating the file's 
relative age from that extension.

Best regards,
Marc
