Any list mode analysis program that reads FCS files (in the various
permutations and implementations of FCS--a nice standard that provides so
many choices) should read CellQuest files. IF AND ONLY IF the files are
transferred as binary (NOT Mac binary) to strip the resource fork and
transfer only the data fork. (The multiple part file type--a curiosity of
the Mac OS--makes bona fide Mac files by definition incompatible with the
FCS specification in that a file does not start with the characters FCS.
The solution to the problem is simple as I outlined above.)
