MEXEPS is an interface between EPIC System and MATLAB

  Matlab Syntax:

    [out1, out2, ...] = mexeps('OPERATION', in1, in2, ...)

  The input argument OPERATION is a none-case-sensitive 
  string, but must be one of these described in this manual.
  This string is the key to indicate the kind of operation
  you want mexeps function to perform. For complete description 
  for each OPERATION, type 

     help OPERATION

  where OPERATION is the string listed below (except 'close', 
  you must type 'help epsclose' to get help).
