This is a question for the Bioconductor listserv, not R-help. In addition, all current versions of affy will automagically download and install any cdfenvs that you may need, so there is no need to do this manually. If anything, you may need to update your version of affy.

Where is "the" package > from (it's not a CRAN package)? It's an Affymetrix thingie, so the BioC list would be the more obvious place to ask. Notice that there are R data packages, e.g. http://biowww.dfci.harvard.edu/~bioconductor/data/cdfenvs/Win32/mgu74av2cdf_0.1.zip and (if I understand correctly) S-PLUS data libraries like http://www.insightful.com/support/ArrayAnalyzer/DataLibs/CDFLibs/mgu74cv2cdf.zip and I suspect they are not interchangeable even though both come in .zip files. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
