Ach...my fault. The code that reads the config file got moved (maybe in 
Version 1.0.x..?!) so it's executed by a subshell, and changes to the 
subshell's environment naturally don't propagate back to the parent.

The tar file

  http://mathcs.holycross.edu/~ahwang/epix/epix-1.2.2b.patch.tar.bz2

contains patches to fix the issue with both epix and flix, and a change in 
elaps to address the Cyrillic deficiency, which I'll explain in a separate 
post.

For completeness, here are detailed installation instructions:

1. Download the patch file and put it in the 1.2.2 source directory.

2. Unpack:

  tar -jcvf epix-1.2.2b.patch.tar.bz2

3. Apply the patches:

  for file in *.in.patch; do patch < $file; done

4. Rebuild the shell scripts:

  rm -f epix flix elaps
  make

and install.
