   paste(1) works fine for me like this:

Wouldn't you know it.  I have the gnu file utilities earlier in my
$PATH than the /usr/bin directory (for obvious reasons - having
GNU's cp around doesn't do a whole heckuva lot of good if you

called paste.  Moving that file to gpaste solves my problems.
All it took was a boink to the head . . .
