// CLASS:    MFileObject
//
// *****************************************************************************
//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MFileObject)
//
//	The MFileObject class implements an object that contains both a
//	filename and a search path.  The search path is specified by a single
//	string in which multiple elements are separated by ':' characters.  As
//	well this string can contain Unix environment variables, specified as
//	$VARNAME,
//
//	Filenames can be produced by the class by combining the path element
//	with the filename element of the MFileObject.  As well, methods are
//	available to test for the existance of the files produced.
//
