also you could make a ps.map Encapsulated PostScript output map, then
place the EPS file(s) within another ps.map container map. Possibly 
even a (mostly) blank one if say you want 4 maps arranged as so:

|   Map captions..  |

In the past I have use this to put a sub-set map in a corner showing
map of the country with a region box around the area of detail in the
main map. Worked ok but the resulting Postscript file was huge.
