NAME

cssmerge - merge the features of one .css file into another .css file

SYNOPSIS

cssmerge [outputfile] [inputfile] [-v] [-s NNNN]

OPTIONS

-v
		verbose reporting of features one by one

-s NNNN
		if the output file must be created, create it with size NNNN

DESCRIPTION

cssmerge 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, cssmerge provides a path to both shrink and expand .css file space without loss of any information.

SHORTCOMINGS

Note that cssmerge as of version 20040816 is NOT capable of dealing with the CRM114 Winnow classifier's floating-point .cow files. Worse, cssmerge is unaware of it's shortcomings, and will try anyway. The only recourse is to be aware of this issue and not use cssmerge on Winnow classifier floating point .cow format files.
