RE: [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Merging libraries

Hmmm, OK. Another thing you can try is to open them both and copy all from
one, and paste it into the other. For items that are named the same, it will
add the word 'duplicate' to the component name. You can then go through the
library and delete these, or if one of the duplicates is "better" than the
original name, scrap the original and rename the duplicate.
