_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Translate a ped matrix to a geneSet object.

_U_s_a_g_e:

       ped2geneSet(pedObj, quiet=FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  pedObj: a list with five elements: 'ped', 'columns', 'markerNames',
          'Position', and 'fileName'. 'ped' is a pedigree data frame
          whose first 6 columns are family (pedigree id), pid (patient
          id), father (father id), mother (mother id), sex, affected
          (affection status). The remaining columns are pairs of marker
          alleles. Each row corresponds to an individual; 'columns' are
          the names of the first 5 (or 6) columns of ped file. It
          should be either equal to 
          c("family","pid","father","mother","sex","affected") or equal
          to c("family","pid","father","mother","sex"); 'founderOnly'
          indicates if using only founder info; 'markerNames' is a
          vector of marker names; 'Position' is a vector of marker
          positions; 'fileName' is the pedidgree file name.

   quiet: print intermediate results if 'quiet=FALSE'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An object of geneSet class.
