Technically is true. I think the output is still valid postscript, even if it includes the eps header information. We could change the psc driver to only output single page eps like the other eps drivers, but given we've been producing multi-page postscript more or less forever I am a bit reticent to change now. It is also actually quite useful to be able to look through a load of plots in a single postscript file. I have yet to encounter a postscript viewer which doesn't like the files, but if anyone has, then please let us know.
