If you are using Stata, it is quite easy: http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?append

1) Open one of the files
2) type "append using 'filename1'
3) type "append using 'filename2'

And you are done. You will, though, have to de-normalize the weights at some point if you plan to use them. You can see a number of threads on the forum about how to do that.
