Hi Dennis and others interested in the typing issue,
I've written a stand alone apple script (NE2CQ) that you can drag files of
any type or creator onto. It'll change the type to BDLM, and the creator
to BDLY. It ignores folders but will take a memory-full of files at a
time. You'll need to have the apple script extension switched on in your
system to use it
You can download it from my ftp site using fetch:
ftp://facsmac.med.cam.ac.uk
it's in the default ftp directory, and you should be able to pull it over
using fetch.
As an aside: FCS Assistant saves files with appropriate types for Cellquest
(BDLM for list mode, BDHD for correlated and BDHS for uncorrelated mode),
but it saves with its own creator (FCSA). This used to allow you to
convert files by opening and saving, and to use the applescript that ships
with it (Any to Cellquest or Batch Convert depending on vintage) to do
batch conversion. If Cellquest doesn't see them any more it might mean
that BD are filtering for BDLY as creator. Could you try it for me, I'll
set the creator to BDLY in future versions if necessary. Going through FCS
Assistant allows you to swap the bytes around and scale the data as
necessary if the files come from DOS/Windows software like Coulter's and
Cytomation's.
