function names = caseread(filename)
%CASEREAD Reads casenames from a file.
%   CASEREAD(FILENAME) returns a string matrix of names. FILENAME is 
%   the complete path to the desired file. CASEREAD expects one line per
%   case in the file.
%
%   CASEREAD without inputs displays the File Open dialog box allowing
%   interactive choice of the file.
