  • Possible leap-year bug

    From Nick Andre@1:229/426 to All on Wed Mar 3 12:15:29 2021
    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.
