Instructions for use
This disk only works using WEB browsers. You can use any browser you want, but we provided the MOSAIC browser
and Microsoft's Internet Explorer for you. If you have NETSCAPE or already have Microsoft Internet Explorer, just use what you already have. We have tried to use a low level HTML code, but some pages include frames which are not supported using the MOSAIC browser.
The icon 
indicates that you can locate the information or web site on this CDROM. It usually means that you have a choice of going out to the INTERNET or staying on the CD-ROM.
Image files are generally high resolution, but it depends ENTIRELY on the quality of YOUR monitor and the resolution that it is set at!
The icon 
or 
indicate that you can download a file to either your IBM PC type computer or your MAC computer. When you press the button, you will have to designate a directory to save the files. Often you will have to unzip the files to use them.
AUDIO files are noted as 
and provide
a small sound track. You need to set your browser's audio option to play the WAV files or this won't work! Generally this means going to OPTIONS and setting the audio to WAV and associating these files with some audio program (like Sound Blaster). Press the icon to try it now!
If you see this
or 
symbol it means that there are software programs associated with that section somewhere!
Some of the demo software in the sponsors sections must be downloaded and then unzipped
on your hard-disk. The program "unzip.exe" is provided in the root directory of the CD if you
do not have it already. Copy it to your disk now?
Macintosh users must acquire a utility capable of un-BinHexing files, as all the downloadable programs
for the Macintosh are BinHexed Stuffit Expander archives. Most are self-extracting, and the rest can
be expanded with Stuffit Expander, found in the root directory of the CD-ROM, as "stuffit.hqx".

SMALL-PRINT
Whatever we did, we did with the best of intentions. If you sue us for some reason, we hope you lose as much sleep as we did to put this CD-ROM together! Also may all of your lymphocytes clump forever, and your red blood cells lyse! May your flowcell clog, your laser burn out, and your fluorescein return to its ground state permanently. We think that we got permissions from everyone to put whatever is on this disk. We also think that we acknowledged all sources, and if we didn't it was absolutely and definitely a mistake which you will no-doubt make us regret a lot. Let us know and we will rectify this on CD-ROM 3. Some material on this disk is copyrighted, but is put on the disk for your edification, interest, and even education. If you use the material do the decent thing and give credit to the author (and mention this CD - it even has an ISSN Number!!). Some sections can be used as they are, but you can't modify them or reuse the material - see section 17 in particular.
CD ROM Vol 2 was produced by staff at the Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories
and distributed free of charge as an educational service to the cytometry community.
