I cannot recreate your behavior. Would it be possible for you to submit a test case to the mailing list where this is happening? Here is my example. cat > /tmp/x <<EOF 1 2 3 EOF cat > /tmp/y <<EOF one two three EOF paste /tmp/x /tmp/y 1 one 2 two 3 three Thanks Bob -- Please follow up to the mailing list and not to me privately unless it is personal. _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
