If you do not intend to use the native input language, but only want to feed EPD files, you can set the environment variable CHEST_OPTS to contain "-b", and can then omit it from the command line. A later version of CHEST may get an "autodetect EPD input" feature, but currently you must tell it explicitly. Heiner
