There was a utility which would do exactly this.
On some UNIX systems there was a command "lam" that did a line by line
concatenation of text files. This was very useful so I have carried
around the source code from an old BSD system, as I have moved on, and
installed it locally at each place. I don't know why such a useful tool
was deleted from the system. Any ideas, anyone??
