# Usage:
#     mono ipy.exe ttc-merger.py outfile infile1 infile2 ... infileN

# Copyright (c) Hin-Tak Leung

# Tips:
#     "mono ipy.exe -h" to get options.
#         -X:ColorfulConsole - useful on terminal with a light background
#                              (somehow forground color is hard-coded to white)
#         -X:PassExceptions - to see C# exceptions
