chromConverter: Chromatographic File Converter

Reads chromatograms from binary formats into R objects. Currently supports conversion of 'Agilent ChemStation', 'Agilent MassHunter', 'Agilent OpenLab', 'Shimadzu LabSolutions', 'ThermoRaw', 'Varian Workstation', and 'Waters Empower' files as well as various other formats. In addition to its internal parsers, chromConverter contains bindings to parsers in external libraries, such as 'Aston' <https://github.com/bovee/aston>, 'Entab' <https://github.com/bovee/entab>, 'rainbow' <https://rainbow-api.readthedocs.io/>, and 'ThermoRawFileParser' <https://github.com/compomics/ThermoRawFileParser>. The suggested packages 'entab' and 'chromConverterExtraTests' are not on CRAN: both are available from the repository given in 'Additional_repositories', and the latest test fixtures can also be installed from <https://github.com/ethanbass/chromConverterExtraTests>.
