Ok, if SOS have this parametrization then you can do something with it. You can do a VFP program to interface between SOS and the merge tool, so your program-interface receives the parameters from SOS, call the merge tool with this parameters *and* finally autogenerate the binary from the selected text file.

Something like this:

* VFP9_SOS_Merge_Interface_Txt2Bin.prg
LPARAMETERS tcMergedFilename, tcP1, tcP2, tcP3, tcP4, tcP5, tcP6

%sos_dir%\DiffMerge.exe tcP1, tcP2, tcP3, tcP4, tcP5, tcP6  && You need to make a valid Run call, this is only example

<foxbin2prg_dir>\foxbin2prg.exe tcMergedFilename

In this example, the first parameter is just for FoxBin2Prg, the remaining parameters are passed to DiffMerge.
Finally, compile as EXE, soy you can put in in SOS.

I think this will do the job.
