Do not know for sure whether such a program exits. But you can try perl
to the same job easily. Just tried this code and got the results you are
seeking:

   #!/usr/bin/perl

   chomp($line1 = <STDIN>) ;
   chomp($line2 = <STDIN>) ;

   @xline = split(/[\t ]+/,$line1) ;
   @yline = split(/[\t ]+/,$line2) ;

   for ($i = 0 ; $i <= @xline ; $i++)  {
     print "$xline[$i]   $yline[$i]\n" ;
     }

Regards,
