LISP to Remove Bind Prefixes and Merge Resulting Layers

[CastleFurniture]

I am looking for a LISP file that will remove the X-Ref Prefixes from layers bound to a file then merge duplicate layers to the original layer already included in the file. I found this "Remove Bind Prefixes" lisp in an autodesk forum. It seems, no matter how much searching I do, I can't find an automated solution to the merging the results. Obviously there is laymrg, but it takes way too long to merge 40 or 50 layers one-at-a-time. Needless to say, I am not an expert at lisp but I, like a whole bunch of other folks on these forums, am trying to learn. Any help would be oh-so greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Remove Bind Prefixes:

(while (setq Pos (vl-string-search "$" String (1+ Pos)))
(setq LastPos Pos)
)
(substr String (+ 2 LastPos))
)
String
)
)

(setq ActDoc (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-Acad-Object)))
(vlax-for Obj (vla-get-Layers ActDoc)
(setq Name (vla-get-Name Obj))
(if (/= (setq NewName (RemoveBindPrefix Name)) Name)
(if (vl-catch-all-error-p (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-put-Name (list Obj NewName)))
(prompt (strcat "\n Layer: " Name " was not renamed."))
)
)
)
(vlax-for Obj (vla-get-Blocks ActDoc)
(setq Name (vla-get-Name Obj))
(if (/= (setq NewName (RemoveBindPrefix Name)) Name)
