   Does anyone know of a way to take 2 or more TeX output files (either
   as DVI or `downstream' as HP PCL) and merge them so they'll both (all)
   print?  Under OS/2 with emTeX I've tried this the obvious way with the
   OS's own utility (COPY).  Merge 2 DVI files and the driver sees only
   the first; merge 2 JEP files and the printer sees only the first.

Sorry; I have to retract what I said about COPY.  It works fine for
JEP files.  My problem was with a printer in duplex mode which wanted
a form feed before disgorging the last of 2 files, which happened to
consist of a single page.
