If you're on a unix-equivalent machine try "paste", which unites the files
horizontally.  By default it joins using tab, so if you have two files
already already containing tab-delimited columns (or a single column)
you'll be fine. Example from the man page:

   1.  To paste several columns of data together, enter:
            paste  names  places  dates  > npd

       This creates a file named npd that contains the data from names in
       one column, places in another, and dates in a third.  The columns
       are separated by tab characters.

       File npd then contains:
            rachel          New York        28 February
            jerzy           Warsaw          27 April
            mata            Nairobi         21 June
