But if I want to do something _else_ with the names in the list? Do I 
setup getGroups but just not push anything onto @outlist?

    #COMMENTEDOUT: push (@outlist, \@groupList) if ( scalar(@groupList) 
 > 0 );

That way I don't duplicate the TIFFreader code and can add a 
FilenameParser as the first  import.

This also means (see email "Potpourri")  that I just need to add a  
PlainTXTreader or some other non-sense as an importer to get the grid sizes.

Ha!
