Usage: eptex [OPTION]... [TEXNAME[.tex]] [COMMANDS]
or: eptex [OPTION]... \FIRST-LINE
or: eptex [OPTION]... &FMT ARGS
Run e-pTeX on TEXNAME, usually creating TEXNAME.dvi.
Any remaining COMMANDS are processed as e-pTeX input, after TEXNAME is read.
If the first line of TEXNAME is %&FMT, and FMT is an existing .fmt file,
use it. Else use `NAME.fmt', where NAME is the program invocation name,
most commonly `eptex'.
Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a backslash,
interpret all non-option arguments as a line of e-pTeX input.
Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a &, the
next word is taken as the FMT to read, overriding all else. Any
remaining arguments are processed as above.
If no arguments or options are specified, prompt for input.
