[BioC] Help on Loading AgilentData into LIMMA

[Gordon Smyth]

The problem with Agilent special characters (backslash sequences) that Sean 
mentions was caused by a bug in R 2.1 which has been fixed in R 2.2.0, 
hence my question about version numbers.

You should upgrade to R 2.2.0 and the current version of limma anyway (from 
CRAN) because versions 2.3.X of limma have a 5-fold speed improvement in 
reading Agilent files, thanks to work by Marcus Davy.
