  file format}
\description{

  the header of a WTCCC signal file.
}
\usage{
wtccc.sample.list(infile)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{infile}{One of the signal files in a set of 23 (it is advisable
    to use the smaller ones such as number 22, although it shouldn't matter).}
}
\details{
  The header of a WTCCC signal file is like this:

\preformatted{
  AFFYID RSID pos  AlleleA AlleleB 12999A2_A 12999A2_B ...
}

The first 5 fields are discarded. There after, every other token
is retained, with the "\_A" or "\_B" part removed to give the sample list.
  
See also \code{\link{read.wtccc.signals}} for more details.
