[Lexicog] Shoebox merge and remove duplicates

[Wayne Leman]

I'm back on the Cheyenne reservation for a week of language work. Somehow, 
in the process of creating a smaller database for a school program, I lost 
track of my complete database with its latest edits. So I have now made many 
changes to a slightly smaller version of the complete database. I still have 
the complete database but it is not not up-to-date with changes made this 
week.

Is there to automate a process of merging my current database with the 
older, larger one and end up with a new database which has all and only the 
database records I want? I don't want to manually delete duplicate entries. 
I've done that before and it's too much work with the size of my database 
now.

I am willing to do a visual check using some compare-files software, if I 
can compare differences between two Shoebox databases. But the more 
automated the process can be, without losing data, the better.

Thanks,
Wayne
