I wrote a horrible python script that uses latex to put several eps
files onto one page. It leaves quite some margins around the plots, so
it might not be what you want. I use it to put tens of plots onto very
few pages to get an overview of my data. I also believe that such jobs
should be automated as much as possible. The simplest command line to
put two plots per page would look like this:

nplot.py -x 1 -y 2 file1.eps file2.eps file3.eps file4.eps

If anyone is interested, I can email them the program.

If I have to combine eps plots in a more controlled manner, I use the
free program scribus. I import the eps graphics and arrange them
manually as I see fit. scribus should work with any IDL eps graphics,
however, it does not (cannot) work with raster graphics embedded in
eps. Last time I tried, not even expensive Coreldraw could do that.
