.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I tie
program is  used to process multiple change  files  used  with the WEB
system  for  literate  programming. The WEB programs  allow  to  apply
patches to a source file (the
.IR masterfile )
by  means of a number of change files (often only a single change file
is allowed).
.I Tie
can be used  to either merge up to nine change files into a single one
or to apply the changes to the
.I masterfile
in order to create a new one. Output of either the  new change file or
the patched master file goes into
.I outputfile.
