: Do the metafiles share a common origin ?  If so, they'll probably use the

: probably strip the EOF metafile record off the first file, throw away the

: then you'll need to update the header of the file taking that into account.

: Not a lot of work if you have a C compiler.

Thats a lot of work! I've done it a few times before in C++...

just play the 2 metafiles to a second device context that is a metafile. 
If you look at the metafile functions you will see the functions you need.
