Adding Leading Zero with Right Justified and Removing Duplicates

hello everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have 2 files. It looks like this:

File 1:

abc1, defg, 50.00, mno,990
abc2, cats, 100.00, pops,991
abc3, dogs, 1.00, treat,992


File 2:

990, airplanes, runway, doctor
991, jets, birds, much
990, *airplanes,runway,doctor
992, cars, ford, toyota

Here is what I would like to do:

1. In file 1, column 3, the amount, i would like it to be right justified with leading zero

2. In file 2, all the duplicate need to be removed. Like 990, *airplanes

3. After file 1 and 2 are done, then join them by using the key in column 5 in file 1 and column 1 in file 2.

If you need more clarification, let me know. I appreciate it greatly if someone can help me out. Thank you.
