displays the conflicting entries asking you to select File 1,
File 2,Both (i.e. simultaneous appointments), or None.
e First File:
The program always resolves conflicts in favor of File 1.
e
Second File: The program always resolves conflicts in favor of File 2.
*
Both:
The program always includes both entries in the output file.
Ifyou want the program to beep at you wheneverit finds a conflict, then use the
space bar to make sure that the beep is Enabled. Press (ENTER).
Unless you're suffering from memory constraints, you should let the program
generate its MERGE . LOG file as a record of its actions. You can decide later
whether it's worth saving.
If you have memory constraints, pressing
(Clear) will cause Merge to skip the creation of a log file.

you will see the message Memory full. Close down any TSR programs or
other "open" applications.
If the newly merged output file is larger than the maximum allowable size for
an Appointment Book (see page 127 for details) then you will see the message:
Warning: Output file may be too large to load.
If, at any time, you wish to cancel the merge, press CTRLBREAK).
