       _R_l_a_m  simply joins lines from multiple inputs, separating them with the
       given tab character (TAB by default).  An input is either a stream or a
       command.   Commands are given in quotes, and begin with an exclamantion
       point ('!').  If the inputs do not have the same number of lines,  then
       shorter files will stop contributing to the output as they run out.

       A hyphen ('-') by itself can be used to indicate the standard input.

       To join files output1 and output2, separated by a comma:

         rlam -t, output1 output2

       To join a file with line numbers (starting at 0) and its reverse:

         cnt `wc -l < lam.c` | rlam - -t: lam.c -t 'tail -r lam.c'
