        !            50: .I Lam
        !            51: copies the named files side by side onto the standard output.
        !            52: The
        !            53: .IR n -th
        !            54: input lines from the input
        !            55: .IR file s
        !            56: are considered fragments of the single long
        !            57: .IR n -th
        !            58: output line into which they are assembled.
        !            59: The name `\fB\-\fP' means the standard input, and may be repeated.
        !            60: .PP
        !            61: Normally, each option affects only the
        !            62: .I file
        !            63: after it.
        !            64: If the option letter is capitalized it affects all subsequent files
        !            65: until it appears again uncapitalized.
        !            66: The options are described below.
        !            67: .IP \fB\-f\fP\ min.max
        !            68: Print line fragments according to the format string
        !            69: .IR min.max ,
        !            70: where
        !            71: .I min
        !            72: is the minimum field width and
        !            73: .I max
        !            74: the maximum field width.
        !            75: If
        !            76: .I min
        !            77: begins with a zero, zeros will be added to make up the field width,
        !            78: and if it begins with a `\-', the fragment will be left-adjusted
        !            79: within the field.
        !            80: .IP \fB\-p\fP\ min.max
        !            81: Like \fB\-f\fP,
        !            82: but pad this file's field when end-of-file is reached
        !            83: and other files are still active.
        !            84: .IP \fB\-s\fP\ sepstring
        !            85: Print
        !            86: .I sepstring
        !            87: before printing line fragments from the next file.
        !            88: This option may appear after the last file.
        !            89: .IP \fB\-t\fP\ c
        !            90: The input line terminator is
        !            91: .I c
        !            92: instead of a newline.
        !            93: The newline normally appended to each output line is omitted.
        !            94: .PP
        !            95: To print files simultaneously for easy viewing use
        !            96: .IR pr (1).
