problems with MPLUS

Hello everyone

We have problems with the MultiPlus Software from
Phoenix Flow system.
We had the MultiPlus Ver. 2.5 to analyse 2 dimensional
DNA histograms from the BrdU/Hoechst/EB method. We get
listmode files from the Coulter Elite ESP in FCS1
standart.

We had the following problem: this version had problems
with setting a gate before analysis. On the other hand,
it was unstable after about 10 analysis.
I complained about this problems by Mr. Becker from
Phoenix and bought a new version, version 3.0. He told me,
that this version should not have this mistakes.

We tested this version last week and have still the problem,
that the program is unstable after about 7 to 10 analysis.
That means, after setting a region in the dot plot histgram
and trying to analyse the DNA histogram - changing to
MCycle - the program crash and one have to reboot the
computer. I know, that we need a minimum of 560 k free
memory in the lower 640 K (we use a PC). Thats no problem,
as we have 584K free.
Mr. Becker wrote us, that he analysed about 40 samples without
any problem. I got the following result:
When I set a gate - peak versus area of DNA fluorescence to
eliminate clumps of cells - the program remains unstable.
When I directly take the listmode files for analysis, we have
no problem.
The second problem of the new MPlus software is the annotate
function. One can annotate the histograms, but it is impossible
to print it. This is a specific problem of the new version.

Has anybody the same problems with MultiPlus. Can anybody help?

Any information will be greatly appreciated

Andreas
