checkFilename

Checks if a file with that name can be created.
If successful, any pre-existing file does not exist any more.

Genotyping assays for bi-allelic markers (e.g. SNPs) produce
signal intensities for the two alleles. 'fitPoly' assigns genotypes
(allele dosages) to a collection of polyploid samples based on these
signal intensities. 'fitPoly' replaces the older package 'fitTetra' that was
limited (a.o.) to only tetraploid populations whereas 'fitPoly' accepts any
ploidy level. Reference: Voorrips RE, Gort G, Vosman B (2011)
<doi:10.1186/1471-2105-12-172>.
New functions added on conversion of data from SNP array software formats,
drawing of XY-scatterplots with or without genotype colors,
checking against expected F1 segregation patterns,
comparing results from two different assays (probes) for the same SNP,
recovery from a saveMarkerModels() crash.

checkFilename function

<dl><dt>filename</dt>
<dd>a file name with or without path. If the name contains a
path the entire path must already exist, else the file cannot be created
and the result is FALSE.</dd>
<dt>overwrite</dt>
<dd>if TRUE an attempt is made to delete any pre-existing file
of that name; the function returns FALSE if the file is locked or the user
has no rights to delete the file. If FALSE the function returns FALSE
if any file of that name already exists, and no attempt is made to remove it</dd></dl>
