6.4 DVItoMP: DVI to MPX conversion
==================================

DVItoMP converts DVI files into low-level MetaPost commands in a
so-called MPX file.  This program is generally invoked only by MakeMPX
(Note: makempx invocation).  Synopsis:

     dvitomp DVIFILE[.dvi] [MPXFILE[.mpx]]

If MPXFILE is not specified, the output goes to the basename of DVIFILE
extended with `.mpx', e.g., `dvitomp /wherever/foo.dvi' creates
`./foo.mpx'.

   The only options are `-help' and `-version' (Note: Common options).
