\begin{Description}\relax
This package manages Affymetrix NetAffx annotation files, and parses
MAGE and ARR sample attribute files into R data structures.

NetAffx provides a way to manage the diverse annotation files provided
by Affymetrix for their arrays.

ARR files provide attribute inforamtion about samples used in an
experiment. These files are created, for instance, by the GeneChip
Command Console or compliant applications, or

MAGE files also provide information about samples. Support in this
package is for MAGE produced by Affymetrix GCOS compliant
applications, and emphasizes sample description and processing.
