<h4>Accessing the data</h4>

Calls to refdb directly (use in shell scripts):

<verbatim>
> refdb lookup condo-ctrl summer temp target
32
</verbatim>

Use the ini-file egg

<verbatim>
csi> (use ini-file)
csi> (property-separator-patt " ")
csi> (define cfgdat (read-ini "condo-ctrl/summer.dat" ))
csi> (cdr (assoc 'temp (cdr (assoc 'target cfgdat))))
28
</verbatim>

Use the refdb unit (not yet documented or cleaned up :( )
