	But for me it doesn't work together with the output of dvi3ps (i.e.
	dvi2ps version 3.1).

	I tried the following:

		1. concatenate in that order
			multi.ps
			the header created by dvi3ps until "%%End Prolog"
			"true 1 2 multi"
			the rest of the dvi3ps generated postscript
			"endmulti"

		2. concatenate in that order
			the header created by dvi3ps until "%%End Prolog"
			multi.ps
			"true 1 2 multi"
			the rest of the dvi3ps generated postscript
			"endmulti"

	Is this the right way to do it? Or has the dvi3ps generated header
	to be changed?

	Thanks for any help!
