113 Merges two Uniforum style .po files together. The
114 ''def.po'' file is an existing PO file with the old
115 translations which will be taken over to the newly created
116 file as long as they still match; comments will be
117 preserved, but extract comments and file positions will be
118 discarded. The ''ref.po'' file is the last created PO
119 file (generally by xgettext), any translations or comments
120 in the file will be discarded, however dot comments and file
121 positions will be preserved. Where an exact match cannot be
122 found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better results. The
123 results are written to stdout unless an output file is
124 specified.

150 a Texinfo manual. If the __info__ and __msgmerge__
151 programs are properly installed at your site, the command
152 __info msgmerge__ should give you access to the complete
153 manual.

156 On Debian, the manual is also available in HTML format in
