1 Introduction

An Encapsulated PostScript File (EPSF) is a PostScript file structured so that it can be incorporated or included into another PostScript file (so that for example a diagram created with a graphics application can be inserted into a text document created with a word processor).

PSMERGE is a utility program for merging one or more Encapsulated PostScript Files into a single PostScript file. The input files can be individually rotated, scaled and shifted. The output file can either be Encapsulated PostScript or “normal” PostScript suitable for sending to a printer. This allows:

• Pictures created by different applications to be overlayed.
• Multiple pictures to be pasted onto a single page.
• Pictures scaled before insertion into a LATEX document.
