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