   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...
