[Bioc-devel] affy's cleancdfname

[Rafael A. Irizarry]

i believe that is what was intended. if the cdf name comes from an 
enviromnent or an object in the workspace then it is assumed that the 
correct name is given and it does not have to be inferred from the 
information in the celfile.

is someone having problems because of this?
