// <etymology>
// Converts a splatalogue line list to a CASA table.

// <synopsis>
// It is a requirement that users be able to convert splatalogue line
// lists to CASA tables for manipulation of these data within CASA.

// <example>
// <srcBlock>
// casacore::Vector<casacore::String> files(2);
// files[0] = "myfile1";
// files[1] = "myfile2";
// Converter converter(files, "mytable");
// converter.convert();
// </srcBlock>
