Global Mapper SDK
Loads the given ASCII text file and fills in aLayer with the handle to the layer. The layer handle can be used in other calls into the library. The layer must be closed by calling GM_CloseLayer when the caller is done using it.
The format of the ASCII text file being loaded is described with the aFormatInfo structure provided. If NULL is passed for that structure, a dialog will appear prompting the user for the layout information.
