NAME
       psmerge - filter to merge several PostScript files into one

SYNOPSIS
       psmerge [ -oout.ps ] [ file.ps ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Psmerge	merges	PostScript  documents  into a single document. It only
       works in the specific case the the files were created  using  the  same
       application, with the same device setup and resources (fonts, procsets,
       patterns, files, etc) loaded.

       If the -o option is used, output will be sent to the file named, other‐
       wise it will go to standard output.

       Psmerge will merge multiple files concatenated into a single file as if
       they were in separate files.

BUGS
       psmerge is for a very specific case; it does not	 merge	files  in  the
       general case.
       For  all those cases which can not be handled by psmerge the program gs
       (known as ghostscript) may help:

	     gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=out.ps \
	     file1.ps file2.ps ... -c quit

       This is rather slow and generates bigger output files.
