The problem of combining independent updates to a program is examined in the context of applicative programs. A partial semantic merge rule is given together with the conditions under which it is guaranteed to be correct, and the conditions under which a string merge corresponds to a semantic merge are examined. The theoretical work reported here contains initial steps towards a solution of the software merging problem and is not sufficient for producing a practical system.
