CIMERGE.EXE By Henry Gerlach
cimerge is a program for players of tradewars 2002 who use utilities such
as TWMAP which use files captured from the 'computer interrogation mode'
in TW2002. If you don't know what this is, You will have to get one of
these programs. I will not describe it here.
This program is freeware and may be distributed freely as long as no
modifications have taken place. no charge may be assesed for the
distribution of this program other than a reasonable fee for the cost of
diskettes, or an access charge for BBSs.
I, Henry Gerlach will not be responsible in any way for any losses stemming
from the use of this program.
The purpose of cimerge is to 'merge' two sets (.prt .wrp) of cim files,
gaining the information from both.
Using cimerge is simple, just enter:
CIMERGE BASE1 BASE2
Where BASE1 is the name of the first set of files, without the extension
And BASE2 is the name of the second set of files, without the extension
If you want to merge TW2002-A.PRT with TW2002-B.PRT
And you want to merge TW2002-A.WRP with TW2002-B.WRP
You would enter:
CIMERGE TW2002-A TW2002-B
cimerge will then make a set of files called MERGED.PRT and MERGED.WRP
any information from either file will be included in these files.
If you and a corpmate have captured the cim data, and each of you has
explored 50% of the sectors, you may end up with a set of files for twmap
which give you 75% explored, or even better.
cimerge takes each file, line by line, and determines which original file's
data to use in the output file. If one file has that sector explored, and
the other does not, it will use the explored data for both .PRT and .WRP
files for that sector. If both files have the sector explored, or both
unexplored, it will use the info from the newer of the two files.
This way you can keep your files up-to-date.
If you have several sets of files, you will have to merge them 2 at a time.
note: CIMERGE will not accept MERGED as the input file name since that is
the output file name, and you can't have the same file open for input one
place and output in another, sorry, you will have to rename the MERGED
files to TEMP or something each time.
