I am looking for a program which will allow me to merge two or more files to gether into one large file. I would prefer to merge them manually, in order to bring them together as i see they should be. Is there a fairly user friendly program that can do it?

What do you mean by "merge?" Do you mean "concantenate"–i.e. add one file to another; or "integrate"–i.e. a bit of data from one file, then a bit of data from file two, then more data from file one, etc.? Concantenation can be done with a DOS command: COPY FILE.1 + FILE.2 FILE1&2 Data FILE.1 and FILE.2 will be concantenated into the new FILE1&2. Integration is tricker and depends on what you want to do and the form your data is in to begin with. Let me know if this is helpful or if I misunderstood what you were asking about.
