 I know the drill, I have explored a number of ways to to produce a
 daily zone/nodelist. I still have them running every day in parrallel.

 In some cases I also use a modified makenl, that alows TOMorrow an TODay als
 parameters for the publishing day. But using a stream editor in the control
 file is just a easy. Changing daynumbers in nodelist lines, is also easy
 with a stream edidor.
