     to be updated (by accessing the Affymetrix web site) or to
     retrieve the entire list of NetAffx resource data base. A more
     normal use case is to

_U_s_a_g_e:

     readNetAffx(netAffxResource, update = FALSE, ...)

          path to the local data base, and permissions for access the
          Affymetrix NetAffx resource. 

  update: An object of 'logical(1)' indicating whether the data base is
          to be updated ('TRUE') or not. 

     ...: Additional arguments, not currently used.
