Set up the preference settings

To set up the preference settings, an instance of the class SPARK::TPreferenceSettings should be instantiated with the name of the *.prf file passed to the constructor.

This object parses the *.prf text file and generates an internal representation of the preference settings that can then be queried by the other SPARK classes. It is also possible to create a SPARK::TPreferenceSettings object without a *.prf file thanks to the method interface provided in the SPARK::TPreferenceSettings, SPARK::TComponentSettings and SPARK::TGlobalSettings classes.

In particular, the class SPARK::TPreferenceSettings will produce:

• an instance of the class SPARK::TGlobalSettings, and
• for each component comprised in the problem under study, an instance of the class SPARK::TComponentSettings.

    SPARK::TPreferenceSettings PreferenceSettings( PrfFileName );
