Attaching large files instead of posting more than a few sample lines would make the post much easier to read and follow.
Pls post the join command you used.

Reading (and considering) the error msg sometimes helps:
Code:
join: file2:51: is not sorted: 1000 -162.65

If you can afford it, add leading 0s to the entries up to 1000, and it will work:
Code:
.
.
.
0950 2028.0 3324.0 -163.34
0950 2320.0 3524.0 -163.34
0950 3000.0 4000.0 -163.34
0950 3500.0 4000.0 -163.34
1000 0.0 1612.0 -162.65
1000 165.0 1855.0 -162.65
1000 288.0 1887.0 -162.65
1000 496.0 1949.0 -162.65
.

.

If not, add them before the join and remove them in the output file with sed, awk, etc.
