Description:

CDGMerge is a utility used to merge or append .CDG graphics
files or CD+G .BIN files into CD+G .BIN files.

The remainder of this document pertains to the MS-DOS executable.
For information regarding the Windows executable, run the program
and click the 'About CDGMerge' button.


Possible uses:
Add your own logo or text (& optional audio) to commercial
CD+G BIN files for re-burning on CD at any position in the
song.

Produce a new .BIN file from an existing one with different
graphics and audio syncronization.
eg. cdgmerge -bg new.bin original.bin 0:01
    cdgmerge -ba new.bin original.bin 1
This will move the graphics to 1 second prior to the audio.

There are utilties available to create .BIN & .CDG files
with your own graphics. eg. CDGCreator

Note: CDGCreator generates files named .CDG but are actually
.BIN files so you must specify the -b switch.

Run CDGMERGE.EXE for usage details.

CDG1.BAT may be used to append one CDG file to many BIN files.

CDG2.BAT may be used to append many CDG files to one BIN file.
For this to work in the correct order, the CDG files should be
created or copied to an empty folder in the required order.
This routine is much faster than using the alternative DOS
Copy/b command to append multiple files.

Change the -c option to -b to append BIN files.
