+.SH NAME
+psmerge \- filter to merge several PostScript files into one
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B psmerge
+[
+.B \-o\fIout.ps\fB
+]
+[
+.I file.ps ...
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I 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
+.B \-o
+option is used, output will be sent to the file named, otherwise it will go to
+standard output.
+
+.I Psmerge
+will merge multiple files concatenated into a single file as if they
+were in separate files.
+.SH BUGS
+.I psmerge
+is for a very specific case; it does not merge files in the general case.
+.br
+For all those cases which can not be handled by
+.I psmerge
+the program
+.I gs
+(known as ghostscript) may help:
+
+.sp 1
+.in +1c
+.nf
+ gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=out.ps \\
+ file1.ps file2.ps ... -c quit
+.fi
+.in -1c
+.sp 1
+
+This is rather slow and generates bigger output files.
