<Result> = fMerge(<Name of the file> [, <Output file> [, <Option> [, <eye>]]])

Full name of file to merge (without the ".001" extension).

<Output file>: Optional character string (with quotes)

Full path of file to create.
By default, <Output file> corresponds to <File name>.

<Option>: Optional Integer constant

By default:
the source files are kept during the merge operation.
if the output file already exists, the function returns an error.
You have the ability to specify the following merge options:
fDeleteDestination If the destination file already exists, it will be deleted then re-created.
fDeleteSource The source files will be deleted as the merge operation goes along.
Caution: If an error occurs, the source files will be LOST and they cannot be retrieved.
