| (what are the odds that anyone

I must admit that I'd never looked at lam(1) - on any speed of machine.
But when I did just now, just for the thrill of it, I see ...
[...] To merge the lines from four
different files use
lam file1 -s "\
" file2 file3 file4
which cannot be right, that would be equivalent to
lam file1 -s "" file2 file3 file4
and if that's what was intended, it would make much more sense
to just write that. More likely a string containing just a newline
is what is wanted, in which case the '\' MUST be omitted.
The proverbial someone should fix that.
I still have no real idea what lam actually does, and am far to lazy
to go experiment and find out, but just from that man page read, I
suspect that perhaps that -s should also be -S (but that's speculation).
