+.TP
+\fB\-J\fR, \fB\-\-join\-lines\fR

+\fB\-l\fR PAGE_LENGTH, \fB\-\-length\fR=\fIPAGE_LENGTH\fR
+set the page length to PAGE_LENGTH (66) lines
+(default number of lines of text 56, and with \fB\-F\fR 63)
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-merge\fR
+print all files in parallel, one in each column,
+truncate lines, but join lines of full length with \fB\-J\fR
+.TP
+\fB\-n[SEP[DIGITS]]\fR, \fB\-\-number\-lines\fR[=\fISEP[DIGITS]\fR]

+.TP
+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-no\-file\-warnings\fR
+omit warning when a file cannot be opened
+.TP
+\fB\-s[CHAR]\fR,\-\-separator[=CHAR]
+separate columns by a single character, default for CHAR
+is the <TAB> character without \fB\-w\fR and 'no char' with \fB\-w\fR
+\fB\-s[CHAR]\fR turns off line truncation of all 3 column
