Does the merged part of the file just go at the end of the file or do I have to know exactly where it is to be placed?? I hope that wasn't too confusing, it sure was for me I have not used WinMerge yet, this will be my first attempt. Hopefully not my last.

It is late so I will look for an answer tomorrow. Thanks for all your help, greatly appreciated.
The quick answer to your question is this, ANY FILES in the "2_Required_Core_Edits" folder modify files that MAY have been modified by other add-ons you may have installed.. If this is the case you will need to use a file comparison program to determine what those differences are and merge the files.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but this support thread is not the right place for providing instructions on how to use a file merging program.. If you need specific help on how to merge files, you should either consult the help file for the file merging program of your choice or post you file merging questions in a more appropriate place in this forum.. You may also want to consider hiring someone to help you with this task if you are still unsure how to go about doing the file merges..
