13 Please note that I recreated the behavior of the Unix(Tm) 'paste' command
14 as faithfully as possible, with minor exceptions; however,
15 I haven't run a full set of regression tests. Thus, the user of
16 this program accepts full responsibility for any effects or loss;
17 in particular, the author is not responsible for any losses,
