OPTIONS

-h
usage message.

-a
Align first page of each documents to odd page, by inserting extra blank page after odd-paged documents - maybe useful when concatenating two-sided documents.

-s
Try to close unclosed save operators in the input files. This option may be useful when input PostScript files have save operators which doesn't have corresponding restore operators, and the joined PostScript file causes ``limitcheck'' PostScript error due to too deeply nested save operators.

-p
Force insert corresponding PostScript prolog/trailer codes into all pages. Normally, to reduce the size of the output file, psjoin try not to insert largest prolog/trailer codes repeatedly.
