Is perl only available for Unix ?
I have used a similar technique to create an elset file when I travel to =
a place far south from me.
I run predictions for the vacation resort, then for (a longer time) at =
my home location.
My program 'buildsel filename selectionfile' can build a table of all =
unique ID's found in each of the two runs.
A 'dif' program finds all objects visible at the southern location =
'never' visible from home.
'applysel alldat.tle smallselectionfile small.tle' builds a clean =
tle file with only 'new' objects.
