[BioC] ArrayVision and limma

[Isaac Mehl]

I just received some wonderful help from Jean on reading ArrayVision
output files into marrayInput. Now i would like to try and analyze with
limma.  if i understand correctly there is no way to do this unless
source = "ArrayVision" which doesn't exist.  Read:
https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2003-August/002182.html
which leads me to believe that the only way to accomplish this is for
Gordon to write a separate function.  Is this the only way to read in
data?  Won't this be a pain with many, many different software packages
making spot calls??  Isn't it possible to simply specify which column
contains the needed information (RF, Gf, Rb, etc) in a matrix??

I am attaching an example of a .csv output from ArrayVision if anyone
would like a crack at it.
