                     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).
