Tree Star is proud to announce ProJo, a simple protocol editor. ProJo lets
you edit FCS files, without having to worry about the intracacies of the
data format.

This is a FREE utility.  We wrote this utility to help users get the most
out of the databasing utilities of FlowJo--utilities that benefit from
having completely and correctly annotated data.  ProJo lets you annotate
data AFTER collection, lets you correct errors that you made during
collection, gives you more control of your files. It also solves Y2K
issues!

The Mac version is available now.  www.treestar.com/projo

The Java version for Windows/Unix/Linux is ready to begin beta testing
soon.  If you are interested in testing ProJo on "alternate platforms"
please contact us at projo@treestar.com

In this release, ProJo contains six functions:

*Examine:  scan directories of FCS files and generate a report containing
disk space usage, reagent usage, and collection times: useful for tasks
such billing, resource tracking, etc.

* Edit: a functional spreadsheet interface to your FCS files.  Make changes
to keywords in any number the files.   (ProJo keeps track of changes--you
can undo any change even after you've saved the data file!)

Batch: performs simple operation to a folder full of files:

* Add Serial Keyword - Add Sample 001, Sample 002,etc to the files.

* Make Keyword From Title -- every lab has its own file naming conventions
to show date, patient, cell line, etc.  Now, you can put them as keywords
in the file so you can group them automatically.

* Change Date - Y2K problems got you doubting your workhorse HP? Set back
its clock on your collection system, and then post-process the files in
ProJo to correct the dates.

* Delete Keyword-Protect privacy, protect data, rewrite the file sans
unwanted keywords.

Tree Star is committed to developing the most powerful tools and utilities
for Flow Cytometry data analysis.   We look forward to hearing your
feedback and advice on for new features for ProJo.
