       The  tie  program  is  used  to  process  multiple  change  files  used  with the WEB system for literate
       programming.  The WEB programs allow one to apply patches to a source file (the masterfile) by means of a
       number of change files (often only a single change file is allowed).  Tie can be used to either merge  up
       to  32  change files into a single one or to apply the changes to the masterfile in order to create a new
       one.  Output of either the new change file or the patched master file goes into outputfile.

       The environment variable WEBINPUTS is used to search for the  input  files,  or  the  system  default  if
       WEBINPUTS  is  not  set.   See  tex(1)  for  the details of the searching.  To avoid conflicts with other
       programs that also use the WEBINPUTS environment, you can be more  specific  and  use  WEBINPUTS_tie  for
       special requirements in TIE.
