I have been trying to generate my own setld subsets and after much wailing and 
gnashing of teeth, I think I've found the tools that I need to do it;
specificly:
	newinv
	invcutter
	tarsets

all of which are in /usr/sys/dist.

I've managed to piece together a couple of toy subset packages using these
tools, but the way I did it seems convoluted, to say the least.  What I'd 
really like is a monolithic shell script that performs this function.
If this cannot be had, some sort of documentation would be nice (I heard
a rumor that some exists, but so far this is unsubstantiated), that way,
I can write one myself.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about here?  Can you help me?
If you've run into similar trouble, I'd be happy to tell you what I know.
If there is enough interest, I'll submit what I learn to this newsgroup.


Cheers,
jd
