CFileList Class Description

The CFileList class opens and processes a Mira file list. A file list is a text document containing a set of file names, one per line. In the Mira user interface, file lists are saved in .axf type files, but this class can open a file list from any file type. To use the CFileList, create the object using new or new_filelist, then iterate over the files using Next. The CFileDlg and CFindFiles classes have some similar capabilties.
