You can't 'cat' them together - according to a quick google, it seems a PS 
file has a certain structure that is required, and simply catting them 
together would give one PS file with two prolouges and two sets of 
properties, thus rendering the file invalid.

Apparently though a2ps makes a stab at merging them:

	a2ps -1 file1.ps file2.ps file3.ps -o output.ps
