                         Both the applet and servlet can be set to retrieve the configuration properties
                          from a data file. The configuration file is simply a list of the property names with the value for each property. 
                        The first element of a line specifies the property name whilst the second
                          represents the value for that property.  
                        Any line in the file which is either blank or begins with <!-- will be
                          ignored. Therefore comment lines may be added to file by beginning the line with <!--. 
                        We recommend that, rather than building a configuration from scratch, that
                          you take a copy of the example file barprops.txt file and modify the values to suite
                          your implementation.  
                        With both the applet and servlet the configuration file is specified via a
                          URL parameter and therefore the file can be placed in any directory accessible via a URL.  
                        For a full explanation of each property and range of valid values please see
                          the  
                          Parameters & Option section.
