The "annoying reason" that Cellquest will not run old Lysis files (as you put
it) is that Cellquest stores data in the FCS 2.0 file configuration and is
designed to analyse those files. LYSIS II files are in FCS 1.0 file
configuration. File conversion is very rapid (about 10 seconds for the
average 100-110K file) on my Quadra 650 running FACSCONVERT.
I have had no difficulty converting Lysis II compatible files to Cellquest
compatible ones. The conversion is very rapid compared to the old FACSNET
which took approximately 1 minute per 100k file to convert from PASCAL to DOS
so one could run PC Lysis.
