[PAULICKA,CHRISTOPHER (HP-PaloAlto,ex1)]

I am running Cygwin with bash (GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(2)-release
(i686-pc-cygwin)

If I make a file, temp:
a
b
c

and another file, temp2:
1
2
3

Problem 1
---------------
input:
paste -s temp temp2 

output:
a       c
1       3

expected output:
a       b       c
1       2       3

Problem 2
---------------
input:
paste temp temp2 temp

output:
a      a
b      b
c      c

expected output:
a      1       a
b      2       b
c      3       c
