two files into an alternate list

[J. Clifford Dyer]

That depends:

What do you want when you have these two files:

file 1:
a
b
c

file 2:
1
2
3
4
5

Options: 
*['a',1,'b',2,'c',3,None,4,None,5]
*['a',1,'b',2,'c',3,4,5]
*['a',1,'b',2,'c',3]
*Throw an exception

And what if file 1 has more lines than file 2?

Cheers,
Cliff
