_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Workhorse GEO parsers.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     parseGEO(con, GSElimits)
     parseGPL(con)
     parseGDS(con)
     parseGSE(con, GSElimits)
     parseGSM(con)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     con: A connection that contains the body of a GEO SOFT format file

GSElimits: Used to limit the number of GSMs parsed into the GSE object;
          useful for memory management for large GSEs.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     These are probably not useful to the end-user.  Use getGEO to
     access these functions.  parseGEO simply delegates to the
     appropriate specific parser.  There should be no reason to use the
     parseGPL, parseGDS, parseGSE, or parseGSM functions directly.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     parseGEO returns an object of the associated type.  For example,
     if it is passed the text from a GDS entry, a GDS object is
     returned.
