    1) open the file as an ifstream
    2) use getline on the ifstream to get a string
    3) push a copy of the string onto the list.
    Code:
            ifstream file("path_to_file",ios::in);
    	list<string> data;
    	string buffer;
            while (getline(file,buffer)) data.push_back(buffer);
            file.close();
    To check:
    Code:
    	list<string>::iterator it = data.begin();
    	while (it != data.end()) {
    		cout << *it <<endl;
    		it++;
    	}
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
