Oops, you're right...  It was SORTNENG I was thinking of.

NASAWASH is still available at 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/softwareArchive.php#pc-util or direct 
from me at http://www.mustbeart.com/software/nasawash.html -- but it doesn't 
have that feature. It cleans up a TLE file but can't select a subset of the 
satellites.

There are a couple of other old DOS programs still available on the AMSAT 
web site that do have the feature. Follow the link above and look for 
EXTRACT or SORTNENG.
