It is Shareware and he asks for a nominal fee (£15-20 I think) for books etc., but I recommend it. It is apple scriptable and he bundles an apple script that allows group drag and drop that automatically converts your data. Another alternative is BD's own software called FACS Convert. This software costs £412.00. Rays Hichs web page is at: http://facsmac.med.cam.ac.uk If you need any more info please contact me. Andy...
