About This File
This program written by Alex Shapiro (aka ASk) allows for merging 2 .gla files, something that is a must when making animations for characters in this game. I take absolutely no credit for this, just uploading since the original authors website is no longer in existence and strongly feel that it is something that cannot be forgotten about.

****************** BACKUP FILES BEFORE USING THIS PROGRAM ****************
1) Put the 2 .gla files into the same directory as the program
User .gla file must contain the 'base' pose (the DaVinci pose) as first frame, it will be ignored during merge.
2) Invoke the program as "glamerge.exe firstfile secondfile [-o]|[-l]"
- If invoked in this format, 2 user .gla's may be merged into 1.
- If invoked in "glamerge.exe file" format, _humanoid.gla from the current dir is used as first file.
- The optional -l switch makes the program dump the bone data (hierarchy) from both gla files, then quit.
- The optional -o switch makes the program eliminate any redundant bone data (producing .gla files comparable to the ones produced with carcass.
- If both -o and -l are specified, the second of two (in the order they are specified) will be ignored
- The program rearranges the bones in the correct order, so as long as the hierarchy/origins are the same, it should work
3) Enter the name of output file
4) Add your animations to animations.cfg file
5) Enjoy
