Author including another tex/dvi/ps file

hope someone can help me.. i'm stuck.

i would like to include another article as an appendix of a thesis, but
don't know how.. the thing is that i would like to have all style
properties of the external article intact. is it possible to somehow
change the documentclass of a latex file halfway through??

i also thought about just including the ps file, but although i've seen
lots of examples on how to include graphics from small eps files, i
haven't come across anything describing how to include an entire
ps-document. is this possible? i tried messing around with psmerge also
but that didn't really work.

any advice appreciated

You could use dviconcat to append the second dvi file to the first, or
a2ps to do the same thing with the PostScript files.
