I have two custom .bib files I wish to merge into project1.bib

module1.bib
<snip>
MODULES

;@CESYSGEN IF MODULE1_ENABLED
MODULE1.dll $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\MODULE1.dll NK SH
;@CESYSGEN ENDIF

</snip>

module2.bib
<snip>

MODULES

;@CESYSGEN IF MODULE2_ENABLED
MODULE2.dll $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\MODULE2.dll NK SH
;@CESYSGEN ENDIF

</snip>


given the two commands :
fmerge.exe -bib %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\project1.bib
%_FLATRELEASEDIR%\project1.bib module1.bib

fmerge.exe -bib %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\project1.bib
%_FLATRELEASEDIR%\project1.bib module2.bib

What would the expected result be ?

Both give
fmerge for Windows CE (Release) (Built on Oct 22 2002 16:06:00)
as output, but the effect of the two commands run consecutively appears
to be a copy, rather than a merge - ie : I end up with the contents of
module2.bib in project1.bib
(If I only perform the first command, I end up with the contents of
module1.bib in platform1.bib )

TIA
Jake

That last line should of course read :

(If I only perform the first command, I end up with the contents of module1.bib in project1.bib )

Why are you merging two files? Wouldn't it make more sense to just have a
master file and include any subsidiary files that you need?
