[GenABEL-dev] GenABEL tutorials to SVN

[Yurii Aulchenko]

Dear All,

Many thanks for your valuable input!

This is how it looks now: I have cleaned up the data/code (actually, only
one chapter - on stratified analyses - really suffered and does not make
much sense anymore; most of the others were rather ok). I put the data on
the GenABEL.org site; and made a small chapter fetching the data following
Lennart's suggestion (using 'download.file').

I am ready to submit the resulting code.

I think I should make a new directory - say, 'tutorials' - at the same
level, as 'pkg', 'tags', 'www' and then will have a sub-directory called
'GenABEL_general' to keep this general tutorial. What do you think?

best wishes,
Yurii
