Hi Vincent,

I'm developing an analysis program, based on FCS Assistant, called
FCSPress. So far it's quite rudimentary and only allows you to plot
histograms. It doesn't do gating or analysis yet. And there is little
support for the edit menu functions (cut, copy, paste, undo). Unlike most
cytometry programs available on the mac, it allows you to open a data file
and optionally manipulate its contents, graphs are plotted from the active
data window into graph windows, which are wysiwyg for printing and saving
as PICT (sort of like cricket graph). You can put as many graphs from as
many files as you like into a graph window, and you can constrain their
plotting to an optional grid of variable size. You can annotate the graphs
manually in variable fonts and styles, as well as semi-automatically from
text held in the source file.

I've got quite a way to go before the program is finished, but it seems to
be quite stable so far. If you'd like a copy let me know and I'll e-mail
it to you (or anyone else who'd like a copy).
