Hi all,
I am a newbie to R and BioConductor and
(at the moment :) have trouble importing
SMD data to R, using read.SMD/read.SMD2

In the working directory, I have 2 files:
"14037.xls" with data for one array and
its corresponding GAL file "14037.gal",
produced by SMD.

Below is the debug info from R.

Mant thanks in advance,
georgia
