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

     Specialized functions for Dorit Arlt's (DKFZ) proliferation  assay
     project

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

     splitWellName(x)
     readWellXML(filename, path=".", verbose=TRUE)
     collectdat(thedir, verbose=TRUE)

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

       x: Character of length 1

filename: Character vector of length 1: filename

    path: Character vector of length 1

 verbose: Logical vector of length 1

  thedir: Character.

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

     These functions are rather ideosyncratic for the particular format
     in which the EMBL's high contents screening microscope (Urban
     Liebel, Rainer Pepperkok) store its data, and how that data was
     transfered to the DKFZ for Dorit Arlt's proliferation assay. These
     functions are probably not of much interest beyond that.

     'readWellXML' reads an XML file with the data for one well from
     Urban Liebel's (EMBL) HCS-microscope.

     'splitWellName' splits a file name string into its components.

     'collectdat' collects together data from the individual wells 
     into one big data frame.

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

     Various.
