// File: hitfit/Defaults.h
// Purpose: Define an interface for getting parameter settings.
// Created: Nov, 2000, sss.
//
// This defines a very simple abstract interface for retrieving settings
// for named parameters.  Using this ensures that the hitfit code doesn't
// have to depend on something like rcp.  There is a lightweight concrete
// implementation of this interface, Defaults_Text, which can be used
// for standalone applications.  If this code gets used with the D0 framework,
// a Defaults_RCP can be provided too.
