[Genome] extracting values from Affymetrix tiling .wib files

Hi.

I'm trying to obtain the data for the Affymetrix Transcriptome Project 
Phase 2 track. The data available in the annotation directory for hg17 
consists of short transfrags with discretized values as well as summed 
counts over long regions, neither of which provides sufficient detail (I 
assume that this is because the data set is so large). I've downloaded 
the .wib files from gbdb/hg17/wib/affyTxnPhase2 and I've built hgWiggle, 
but try as I may, I'm unable to coax hgWiggle into extracting the data. 
Can you tell me how to specify the appropriate options? Besides the .wib 
file, I have the apparent wig file, which is a text file with a .txt 
extension (from the annotation director); do I need to rename it? Do I 
need to specify the track name (there's only one) and chromosome (I want 
them all), or are these settings optional?

Thanks.
