<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
Concatenates and merges the specified PO files.
Find messages which are common to two or more of the specified PO files.
By using the <B>--more-than</B> option, greater commonality may be requested
before messages are printed. Conversely, the <B>--less-than</B> option may be
used to specify less commonality before messages are printed (i.e.
<B>--less-than</B>=<I>2</I> will only print the unique messages). Translations,
comments, extracted comments, and file positions will be cumulated, except
that if <B>--use-first</B> is specified, they will be taken from the first PO file
to define them.
<P>
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
