- description:
-
- MERGE is used to merge two sorted files into one larger sorted
- file. The program reads lines from each of the two input
- files, compares them, then writes the "lesser" line to the
- output file. Comparison only continues until a difference is
- found, so line length does not play a part in the merge. The
- output of this program can be sent to a file, or to the console
- by use of the CON: device name for the output filename.
