[BioC] loading CEL files in affylmGUI

[James Wettenhall]

Hi,

I don't know much about the differences in the way the affy 
package handles different CEL file formats (binary or other),
but I can at least mention that affylmGUI expects you to set 
your working directory to the directory containing the CEL 
files, and then the CEL files listed in the Targets file don't 
need to have any absolute file paths, just a file name (expected 
to be in the current working directory).  I haven't tested much 
with Targets files that have absolute file paths.

Of course if you want to help us to isolate the error, you could 
try reading the CEL file at the command-line, with :
library(affy)
rawAffyData <- ReadAffy(filenames="foo.CEL")

Then you can tell whether the error is more related to affylmGUI 
or to affy.

Hope this helps,
James
