Description

This (global) function returns a list of the names of the image files on disk in the specified path. You can provide just a directory, or a directory and wild-carded file list, or just the file list. You can optionally include the leading directory part of the output file names.

If foreign==T, then all foreign format image for which we have native access (FITS and Miriad presently) are included in the listing. Otherwise, and by default, just AIPS++ images are listed. Please note that presently, any FITS file (image or otherwise) will show up in the listing.
