How to merge two postscript files together?

Question

I am trying to merge two or more postscript files into one. I tried concatenation but it does not work as each postscript file may have different resource header.

Answer 1

As OP mentioned in the question's conclusions, concatenating the files with the line

false 0 startjob pop

in between should do the trick. So in bash, one could write something like

mkdir merge
for ps in *.ps; do
    cat $ps >> merge/output.ps
    echo "false 0 startjob pop" >> merge/output.ps
done

However, as the question also mentions this is only useful for printing (or PDF conversion), a viewer will probably fail to display all but the first ps file. Some more details can be found here.
