_U_s_a_g_e:

     .aaf.raw(probeids, chip, type)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

probeids: character vector containing probe ids

    chip: name of chip, see details

    type: type of annotation, see details

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The core workings of this function depend on an (informal)
     protocol used in creating the BioConductor Affymetrix annotation
     data packages. Based on currently published (and unpublished) data
     packages, the current protocol includes the following features:

     The package is named after the chip, '<chip name>' 
      The package contains datasets named '<chip name><data type>'

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A list of annotation data for the given probeids. Each list
     contains a sub-list containing the actual data.
