public class FaceGroup

extends java.lang.Object

The FaceGroup class will handle Group statements from the .opt file.

 Group statements have the form:
   Group name  filename
 
 The file will contain a list of email addresses in a 
 comma separated format. .csv 
 Most Adress books have the capability of creating an 
 export file that is in CSV format.
 
 It will also support an Eudora Nickname file that contains:
   alias name email
   note ...
  
 
 We will parse the lines in the file and build a hashtable that 
 contains each email address as the key.  
 A hashtable with a key of group name will keep track of the 
 individual group hashtables. 
    
 The matchGroup(groupname,address) method will be used to determine if
 the specified address is in the specified group.
