[BioC] Loading Niblegen Files to Oligo

[Colleen Doherty]

Hello,
 We are trying to load Nimblegen Files to the Oligo Package.  We do
not have .xys files so tried to make them from the .pair files
following this link:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor/29947
However, when trying to read them into Oligo we get this error

> dat <- read.xysfiles(xys_files)
Platform design info loaded.
Checking designs for each XYS file... Done.
Allocating memory... Error in smartReadXYS(filenames, sampleNames) :
 negative extents to matrix

I guess we do not have the .xys files made correctly, but I'm not sure
what we have incorrect, since I can't find exactly what it should look
like.
This is what we have:

# software=NimbleScan   version=2.4.27 designname=090717_Athal_TAIR9_exp
X       Y       EOL     Count
23      3       731.67  NA
135     3       317.33  NA
137     3       742.44  NA
139     3       264.89  NA
141     3       2006.22 NA
143     3       898.11  NA

Does anyone see anything obvious we have wrong?
Session info is below
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks very much!
Colleen
