Parallel Merge

[Nathan Watson-Haigh]

I just found this tool today and I'm very impressed with it!

I've seen the example for parallelising sort....is there a way to spread the merge part amoung more cores? I'm trying to do a sort over 200million lines - the merge part takes several minutes to complete.

How do I write a script for this so I can use it as a drop-in replacement for a sort command used in the pipeline of another software tool?

Cheers,
Nathan
