<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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>
