        !            12: If the files are different lengths,

        !            19: For example, lines from \fIfile1\fR and \fIfile2\fR can be laminated
        !            20: with a colon between each line from \fIfile1\fR and the corresponding
        !            21: line from \fIfile2\fR by the command

        !            29: is given for a filename
        !            30: the standard input is read at that point.
        !            31: If a file is named more than once,
        !            32: each of its lines will be duplicated on the output line,
        !            33: except that if standard input is named more than once,
        !            34: its lines will be read alternately.
        !            35: For example, each pair of lines from standard input can be
        !            36: joined onto one line with a space between them by the command
