I have posted version 3.2 of my free PC-based list-mode cytometry data
analysis program MFI for retrieval by anonymous FTP from
flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu in directory pub/martz. For detailed instructions
on use of FTP, email a request to me.

The MFI.EXE program includes extensive help including an introduction
to its capabilities.

Enhancements since 3.1b include:

- Time slicing can now be done by specifying either 'seconds per slice' or
'events per slice'. This allows kinetic analysis of files which do not
include the acquisition begin and end times in the header.

- Time slice results can now be viewed as histograms and dot plots.

- The number of parameters which can be managed on the parameter menu has
been increased from 6 to 8. Only the first 6 are shown as histograms on
the all-graphics screen, but the remaining 2 can be viewed in the magnified
mode.

- Preliminary support for Coulter Epics MDADS/86 files has been
provided. This certainly needs to be tested on more files, comparing
results with the Coulter software.

- Preliminary support for Coulter Profile HISTOGRAM files has been
provided. This certainly needs to be tested on more files, comparing
results with the Coulter software. (Profile list mode files do not use the
Flow Cytometry Standard format, and must be converted by a program
available from Verity before use with MFI.)

- Some bugs were fixed, and some polishing was done.
