paste utility usage in Windows

[Cindy Armstrong]

Hello, I'm trying to use the paste utility
in Windows XP. I have successfully implemented gawk and grep from this
toolset in a Windows environment, but paste continues to be difficult.

> paste file1 file2   just sends
the contents of file2 to standard out; I see nothing of file1.  
> join file1 file2 sends NOTHING
to standard out. 

I actually have several files that I
am trying to paste, and this works fine in a Unix environment, but I can't
seem to make it work in Windows. Any suggestions? Am I using something
incorrectly?

Thanks,

Cindy Armstrong
