Reading dobs

    function ALPHAdobs_read_parameters(fb)

This routine reads the parameters from a ALPHA parametert record. The routine returns a dictionary that contains the parsed TOML dictionary that corresponds to the parameters. See XXX

    function ALPHAdobs_read_next(fb;size=nothing, keys=nothing)

Reads next dobs. If a tuple of integers is passed in size, it reads an array of dobs of the specified length (by default reads a single dobs). If an array of strings is passed in keys it assumes that it is a dictionary.
