If you look in /usr/etc/subsets, you will find the control (cntrl) files and
the index files (ind I think).  Just look to see if there are files there
which have root-names similiar to "ULXLISP022".  

Also useful are the "lock" files (.lk?) which make setld think that that
subset is already loaded.  Very useful when you're trying to load Ultrix3.0
on a VS2000 with (1) RD32 drive and it insists on loading 12,000 blocks of
UWS software.  :-)



Good luck,

Andy
