Hear, hear!  In my specific case at hand, the two files are both already
buffered, and the padding out is actually because I want to put them
side by side, so a single SPECS fits the bill exactly, without any extra
FANOUTs.  Thanks for redirecting my thinking back to what's simple.

And, actually, the general case for any number of files that are already
synchronized or buffered is just as simple, using OUTSTREAM:

  ... specs 1-* 1 write select 1 outstream 1 1-* 1
                  write select 2 outstream 2 1-* 1 ...

Meanwhile, my complicated idea using GATE (oops, not DAM, I always have
to look up which of those I want) turns out to require two separate
GATEs to avoid a stall.  If I put the two files through the same GATE
and something downstream synchronizes them, GATE hangs up trying to
write to one when the stage downstream is trying to read the other.
