           \item{file}{File containing the locus map data. This file must contain at
                 least three columns: a column for the SNP names, a column for the
                chromosomes, and a column for the location of the SNP on the
               chromosome. The location should be numeric values. No default. }

\details{ In this list, \code{file} must be specified. The types of
         files are described below. 
  \itemize{
    \item \code{Type 1} An .rda file where the saved object was a data frame.
    \item \code{Type 3} A flat file.
    \item \code{Type 4} A SAS data set (see \code{\link{sas.list}}).
