NAME
       tie - merge or apply WEB change files

SYNOPSIS
       tie -c|-m outputfile masterfile changefile1 [ ... changefile9 ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  tie program is  used to process multiple change  files  used  with the WEB system  for  literate  programming. The WEB programs  allow
       to  apply patches to a source file (the masterfile) by  means of a number of change files (often only a single  change  file  is  allowed).
       Tie  can  be used  to either merge up to nine change files into a single one or to apply the changes to the masterfile in order to create a
       new one. Output of either the  new change file or the patched master file goes into outputfile.

   OPTIONS
       -c     Create a single change file from the given changefiles.

       -m     Create a new master file by applying the given changefiles.
