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

     These functions read from a text file (AnnInfo) that have been
     stored in the data directory and create an environment object
     called AnnInfo that will be available for later access

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

     makeSrcInfo(srcFile = "")
     getAllSrc()

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

 srcFile: 'srcFile' a character string for the name of the source file
          that contains source data information

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

     The environment object created (AnnInfo) is a list with four
     elements:

_s_h_o_r_t a character string for the description that will be used to
     describe an annotation element in an XML file to be generated

_l_o_n_g a character string that will be used to describe an annotation
     element in the help file for a given data environment that will be
     contained in a data package to be created

_s_r_c a character string for the short hand name of the source (e.g. ll
     for LocusLink)

_p_b_a_s_e_d a boolean that is TRUE if the annotation element is for a probe
     or FALSE otherwise

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

     'getAllSrc' return a vector of character string for short hand
     names of data sources

_N_o_t_e:

     The functions are part of the Bioconductor project at Dana-Farber
     Cancer Institute to provide Bioinformatics functionalities through
     R
