   So many useful, and maybe not so useful utilities out there.   
      
   paste, will take 2 or more files and put them next to each other, like   
   a sideways cat :)   
      
   Talking of cat, there is also tac which will display a file from the   
   bottom up.   
      
   ncal is like cat but with the days down the side.   
      
   To randomly shuffle the lines of a text file you can pipe it into shuf   
      
   fmt is another text processor similar to, but different from fold.
