configfile.h

This is a pgm can be used for astronomy

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*\
 * ConfigFile class
 *
 * Input file consists of lines of text of the form
 *   name = value
 * where 'name' is the look up key and 'value' is the resultant value
 *
 * '\' is the escape character and allows values to contain embedded '"' and
 *   '#' characters, as well as to do line continuation.
 * To put '"' in a value use '\"'.  To put '\' in a value use '\\'.
 *
 * Anything in double quotes is copied literally (except escape sequences).
 * Outside of double quotes:
 *   '#' starts a comment; the rest of the line is ignored
 *   White space is ignored
