WinMDI is free! It is for Windows-PC's only (not Macs) and is well
worth trying out for your purposes.

A comprehensive, international catalog of free flow cytometry software
is available via World Wide Web (using a Web browser such as Mosaic,
Netscape, or Lynx) at http://www.bio.umass.edu/mcbfacs/flowcat.html.

WinMDI (for PC Windows) is the preeminant free general purpose flow
cytometry program. It is quite excellent and does almost everything
you might want except DNA cell cycle analysis (and its capabilities for
time kinetics are limited). It does multiple colored gates and 3D
plots. Get it from the catalog above, or from the original source,
http://facs.scripps.edu, or by anonymous ftp, also from
facs.scripps.edu in /pub/pc.

MFI (for DOS) is available thru the above web catalog, or by anonymous
ftp from flowcyt.bio.umass.edu in /pub/flowcyt/mfi. (When a beta-test
version with new features is available, it is in
/pub/flowcyt/mfi/beta.dir.) MFI is especially good for processing
large numbers of files quickly, for time kinetics (including
calculating a ratio and drawing the line graph), and for
spreadsheet-ready ASCII conversions. It has a detailed tutorial with
sample data. MFI does neither quadrant analysis nor DNA cell-cycle
analysis.

More details are available in the catalog on these and other free
programs.

This catalog and all the free software linked to it are included on the
CDRom recently put together by Paul Robinson, Steve Kelley and others
at Purdue.
