Take a close look at the end of your config file that gives the Unknown
char error. Chances are there's a control character there, or a comment
line with spaces before the "#". Either will cause this error message.
As for the directories you mention above, presumably these are different
database_dir settings for your multiple databases. So, you'd have
different config files that were used to generate each of the databases.
You can just give these config files, two at a time, to htmerge, to merge
one into another. If you just change database_dir, and not database_base,
doc_db, doc_index, etc., then all your databases will have the same base
name, and only the directory name changes for each database.
E.g., if you have a.conf, b.conf and c.conf, which use database_dir
settings of /www/var/a, /www/var/b and /www/var/c respectively, and you
want to merge them all into /www/var/z, then make a z.conf file which
uses the /www/var/z as database_dir, then do the following:
cp -p /www/var/a/* /www/var/z/
htmerge -c z.conf -m b.conf
htmerge -c z.conf -m c.conf
This will copy the "a" database into "z", then merge in the "b" and "c"
databases in turn.
