Affy CEL file types

SNPScanner depends on version 3 ascii CEL files. Modern Affy systems (2008) using Command Console produce version 4 CEL files. However, there are two types of version 4 CEL files. Affy provides two utilities for converting CEL files. The windows utility: CellFileConversionTool.exe will not convert version 4 files produced by Command Console to version 3, however the Affy Power Tools suite has a conversion utility that will interconvert all three file types.
