Subj: 	vmerge tool...

Hi...

I suspect that bmerge -visual runs the vmerge tool to handle
the visual merging of two files.  I'd like to use the vmerge
tool to do some merging and joining of sources that aren't in
ODE.  Is that possible?  If so, what is the correct command
line for running it?  

Thanks,
Chris

Yes you can use the vmerge tool outside of ode.

#!/bin/sh
UIDPATH=/usr/sde/tools/alpha_OSF1/bin/vmerge.uid \
	/usr/sde/tools/alpha_OSF1/bin/vmerge $@

Sean has described how to use vmerge, but just in case you find that
cumbersome, try mgdiff that's in contrib, or cardinal:/usr/local/bin. You'll
also need the app-defaults file from /usr/local/lib/X11/app-defaults.

I find this quite useful as you can select pieces of either file and save it
as a new file.
