Sounds good, going to give it a try.

>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.
