*.ps files are source code of an interpreted language Postscript. Usually they contain quite a bit of definitions, fonts etc. before pages themselves are described. In general PS files can't be just concatenated and still expected to make sense for the interpreter. The way to join PS files should incorporate a Postscript interpreter.
