Instructions for WSSMERGE version 1.10
WSSMERGE.EXE merges two WSSINDEX databases. This is a new
utility and it has the restriction that only databases written by
WSSINDEX version 2.0 or higher can be merged. Older databases
can be converted by loading them into a current version of
WSSINDEX and resaving them.
To use the program, just answer the prompts for the names of the
input, output and merged databases (complete names, there are no
default values). Drive and subdirectory qualifiers are allowed.
The disk space required for the output file will be approximately
the sum of the input sizes, but the entire merged database will
not be in core at once, so you may be able to create a database
larger than you can restore. In fact, you can exceed the 16K
file limit, but you will not be able to read such a file with
WSSINDEX on any machine.
One error which the program may warn you about after completing
the merging operation is duplicate volume names in the database.
The duplicate entries are not deleted from the merged database;
that task is left to you. Probably you should decide which input
database has the most recent information (perhaps by checking the
date indexed), and remove the matching entry from the other
database, then remerge. Or if you have assigned the same name to
two disks, use the Rename option in WSSINDEX.
[Version 1.00 of WSSMERGE, which was sent to only one person, did
not check for duplicate volume names.]
