Merge 2 text files to one text file side by side
Inquiring minds want to know.... I need to take two files that I have latitude and longitude values and then combine them into one file with the values side by side separated by a space.

the first file is temp113-lat.txt and the second is temp113-lon.txt. They each have values listed in the file like the example below

<temp113-lat.txt>
2644.989500
2645.791200
2647.358600
2647.358300
2647.338700
2647.307900
2647.312100
2647.240400
2647.000300
2646.618800
2646.472100
2646.358800

<temp113-lon.txt>
5104.146495
5103.428400
5103.305700
5103.446300
5103.442100
5103.538900
5103.875200
5104.080100
5105.286800
5105.493300
5105.901000
5106.284000


I want to take these and post them into a .txt file in the following format.

<113latlon.txt>
2644.989500 5104.146495
2645.791200 5103.428400
.... ....

I am trying to write a script to do this automatically but I am missing the line with the command string to do this function. I have tried to use the "paste" command and for some reason it will not output the correct format I want. anyone want to jump in on this one for me... I am at my limit.
