I'm interested in doing the equivalent of a horizontal "cat" on a bunch of files.  
That is, instead of listing them one after another, I'd like them "cat"ted next to 
each other horizontally (tab separated).

e.g.

file t1
0
1
2

file t2
10  15
11
12
13
14

file t3
20
21

% hcat t1 t2 t3
0  10  15  20
1  11      21
2  12  
   13
   14

I'd like it to be able to work on any number of files, and they might be huge (20+ 
MB).  I was thinking it'd be good to open up all the files at once, and write out the 
new file one line at a time, but I can't figure out how to set up an array of 
filehandles.  I'm not sure if that's the easiest way...

Can someone point me in the right direction?

TIA.

- Bryan
