   Does anyone know of the Ultrix version of 4.3BSD's "hc" program.
   Apparently, "hc" stands for something like "horizontal copy"
   (combine?) and it allows for copying one file "sideways" onto another
   rather than the usual way of copying one file onto the end of
   another.

there's "lam":

DESCRIPTION
     Lam copies the named files side by side  onto  the  standard
     output.   The n-th input lines from the input files are con-
     sidered fragments of the single long n-th output  line  into
     which  they  are assembled.  The name `-' means the standard
     input, and may be repeated.

which comes with 4.3BSD and which is free of any legal entanglement, but
I don't recall where it can be FTP'd from.
