7 years ago Merging log files is can produce unpredictable results and I can’t give you any confidence that it can be parsed by PAL. I’m using relog.exe which is part of the operating system to do the merge. Alternatively, you could convert the counter logs into CSV and manually merge them together – it might help.

Hi- I'm running PAL 2.7.7 (got it from CodePlex). When I try to run multiple files through PAL, it seems to crash out. What am I doing wrong?
