Hi,
just as a side note, that also works under Windows if you use
gswin32c -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=out.ps file1.ps
file2.ps ... -c quit
Cheers

Thank you very much for this option!
If I do not find a way of doing it inside IDL I will create both PS
files and merge later with gs.
Thanks again,
Xavi

In IDL, no. In Linux, you can merge PS files with:
gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=out.ps file1.ps file2.ps ... -c quit
