I'm a little unclear on what you mean here, if he just wants the numbers
from the listmode data then as Winlist supports dynamic data exchange the data
can be linked to a spreadsheet such as MS Excel. If he wishes to maintain some
sort of correlated data then I think you will have to look beyond the current
capabilities on Winlist (at least the version I have!).
On the topic of linking ascii data to spreadsheets, those of you
who enjoy tinkering with such things may enjoy a spreadsheet (PC) written
in Microsoft Excel 4.0 which we have just designed to test if the means, both
geometric and arithmetic, and the peak channel reported by flow cytometry
software are what we reckon they should be. Currently it only supports 100
channels, at 256 channel resolution, which must contain NO zero values, i.e. we
have just been testing peaks. It may be of use to others. Feel free to modify
and send me a copy. The spreadsheet in uuencoded form called "mean.uue" will
be sent to the list directly following this posting
