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