I/O Methods on Amandus

char * path

These methods are used by the button's method "read-in", see 7.4.1.7. "read-data" reads in the description file for class Amandus with name path/name.am, it allocates the memory needed for the surface described in the input file and initializes the weier_f function pointer by calling "get-weier-f". "get-extension" returns the extension *.am for Amandus description files, it is used by the file requester poped up by "read-in" to determine which files should be shown.
