    I wouldn't think it would make any difference.  However, under
certain configurations some OLRs try to keep the d/l and u/l
packets matched.  Normally by using numbers in the extensions.  But
even then it shouldn't make a difference.

   If you decide you need to return to changing the date let me
know.  I assume you are doing the changes by hand?  If so, I may be
able to come up with a batch file that will automate the process.

    Good luck, 
      Charles
