.SH NAME
\fBcssmerge\fP \- merge the features of one \&.css file into another \&.css file
.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBcssmerge\fP
[outputfile]
[inputfile]
[-v]
[-s NNNN]
.SH OPTIONS

.ZI 3m "\fB-v\fP"
\&
.br
verbose reporting of features one by one
.in -3m

.ZI 3m "\fB-s\fP NNNN"
\&
.br
if the output file must be created, create it with size NNNN
.in -3m
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBcssmerge\fP copies each feature found in the input \&.css file onto the
output cssfile\&. If the feature is new in the output file, it is copied
at the weight found in the input file\&. If the feature already existed
in the output \&.css file, the input feature weight is added to output feature
weight so the new output weight is stronger\&.

The input \&.css file must exist; an error occurs if this is not the case\&.

The output \&.css file does not need to previously exist; if the file did
not exist, it will be created, (see -s option above)

Conveniently, there is no requirement that the input and output \&.css files
have the same size\&. Thus, \fBcssmerge\fP provides a path to both shrink and
expand \&.css file space without loss of any information\&.
.SH SHORTCOMINGS
Note that \fBcssmerge\fP as of version 20040816 is NOT capable of dealing
with the CRM114 Winnow classifier\&'s floating-point \&.cow files\&. Worse,
\fBcssmerge\fP is unaware of it\&'s shortcomings, and will try anyway\&. The only
recourse is to be aware of this issue and not use \fBcssmerge\fP on Winnow
classifier floating point \&.cow format files\&.
