  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 out-
      put 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  fea-
      ture 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,  css-
      merge  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.
