[OSM-talk] Reduce osm jile size in JOSM

[Frederik Ramm]

Don't know what counts as "convenient" with you but there are several 
perl scripts that do this, check

applications/utils/osm-extract/README

in SVN. Most likely you'll settle for planetosm-excerpt-area.pl where 
you'll specify a bounding box on the command line.

Bye
Frederik
