Hello, I got a question concerning wig files and wig to bigwig conversion.

The program I am using outputs .wig files for each chromosome. I want to
merge them to a single wig so I can use your binary "wigToBigWig" program to
convert it into bigWig to save space. There is a tool that do this
conversion? If not, I can write a script, but I don't know if I should
remove the declaration lines of each chromosome file (a declaration line
would be "fixedStep chrom=chr1 start=10469 step=1"). In some forums I have
seen that the users did remove this declaration line, but as my file is
fixedStep its does seems to me a little strange to remove it. So what is the
correct way of putting many wigs from different chromosomes together?

Thank you!
