The forthcoming ACE 5.4.8 release has much better support for
subsetting, which might help you out a bit. Ossama, can you please
summarize the recent changes you've made to support subsetting? Can
you also please update

to summarize these changes and outline the improvements they provide?

Thanks,

Doug
