        !            12: ppaassttee merges  corresponding lines from multiple  input files.  By
        !            13: default, ppaassttee  uses the <ttaabb> character  to delineate texts from
        !            14: different files.   ppaassttee writes the  the merged text  to standard
        !            15: output; thus, ppaassttee can be used at the head of a shell pipeline.
        !            16: 
        !            17: If ppaassttee reads EOF from any  of the input files while other files
        !            18: still contain data, it  substitutes blank lines as input from the
        !            19: file that has ended.

        !            21: ***** Options *****
        !            22: 
        !            23: ppaassttee recognizes the following command-line options:
        !            24: 
        !            25: -dd _l_i_s_t
        !            26:     Use  the characters  in _l_i_s_t to  separate the  output fields.
        !            27:     The  characters  in  _l_i_s_t  are  taken  in sequence  and  used
        !            28:     circularly, i.e.,  taken in  order until  the end of  _l_i_s_t is
        !            29:     reached,  then  returning to  the  first  character in  _l_i_s_t.
        !            30:     Normally,  ppaassttee uses  the <ttaabb>  character to  delineate the
        !            31:     output  fields.   The   following  character  sequences  have
        !            32:     special meaning when encountered in _l_i_s_t:
        !            33: 
        !            34:     \\      Output a single backslash character
        !            35:     \tt      Output a <ttaabb> character
        !            36:     \nn      Output a <nneewwlliinnee> character
        !            37:     \00      Output a null string (i.e., no separator between output fields)
        !            38: 
        !            39: 
        !            40: -ss  Output successive lines from each input _f_i_l_e across the page,
        !            41:     with  each input  line  separated from  the next  by a  <ttaabb>
        !            42:     character.  After all input lines from a given file have been
        !            43:     concatenated,  terminate  the output  line  with a  <nneewwlliinnee>
        !            44:     character and repeat the process on the next input file.
        !            45:
