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.
Sorry for wasting bandwidth with this seemingly simple question, but I
do not have access to any printed documents and the man pages do not
show any such program.
Email appreciated. Thanks in advance.

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.
