Bmeps provides a large number of configurable settings. To avoid typing
all settings on the command line each time the program is run, one
can create a configuration file and choose one configuration from the file
using the ``-l\ldots'' command line option.

The ``-o\ldots'' command line option can be used to overwrite
some settings of the configuration choosen by -l.

If the ``-l'' option is omitted bmeps uses the following tests to find
a configuration (the search is aborted after the first test succeeds):
\begin{itemize}
\item	The output file name -- if specified -- is inspected whether
it ends on ``.eps'', ``.ps'', ``.pdf'' or ``.bb''. In these cases the
configuration ``eps'', ``ps'', ``pdf'' or ``bb'' is used.
\item	The \textsc{epsoutput} environment variable -- if defined --
contains the name of the configuration to use.
\item	If a default configuration was previously set using
\begin{lstlisting}
bmeps -c -l...
\end{lstlisting}
this configuration is used.
\item	``eps'' is used if no configuration was found yet.
\end{itemize}

A number of configurations is compiled into bmeps, no configuration
file is necessary to use these configurations,
see table~\vref{tab:konfigurationen}.
