orbitel is another of dave ransom's (RIP) tools like his STSPLUS which i still 
use on a few machines... orbitel takes the TLE files and combines them and 
splits them out however you want but it has a problem with memory since it is 
written in the ancient days with the 64k limit... with all my TLEs, orbitel 
only output maybe 1500 of them whereas my project, which is limited only by 
system memory, outputs all 16707 active ones i have TLEs for as well as all 
37899 TLEs i have available for both flying and down craft... no way that 
orbitel can touch that without a lot of manual help slicing and dicing...
