Yes, I learned about paste today, very handy. Unfortunately paste doesn't
always work right...

I would think the 22-25 should be lined up under the 21, but it doesn't do
it like that. Also, paste has a limit of 12 input files, and I can envision
cases where we'd need to "paste" ~100 single or double column files of
different lengths.
Thanks for all the responses.
