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

     Functions to merge or combine a 'list' of split objects
     (AffyBatch, Matrix).

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

     mergeAffyBatches(abatch.list, description = NULL, notes = character(0))
     combineMatrices(matrix.list, verbose=FALSE)

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

abatch.list: A 'list' of objects of class AffyBatch. 

description: A MIAME object. 

   notes: A 'character' vector of explanatory text. 

matrix.list: A 'list' of objects of class matrix. 

 verbose: A logical value. If 'TRUE' it writes out some messages. 

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

     Functions to merge or combine a 'list' of split objects.

'_m_e_r_g_e_A_f_f_y_B_a_t_c_h_e_s' Merges a 'list' of AffyBatches to one AffyBatch.

'_c_o_m_b_i_n_e_M_a_t_r_i_c_e_s' Combines a 'list' of matrices by columns to one
     matrix.

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

'mergeAffyBatches': Returns ONE object of class AffyBatch.

'combineMatrices': Returns ONE object of class matrix.
