FlowJo does histogram overlays.  See
<http://www.treestar.com/flowjo/v3/html/leoverlays.html>

I called Bunny, and she was referring to the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff
statisitic to perform histogram comparison.  FlowJo will create and
export the Cumulative Distribution Functions (the integral of the
histogram) which is the basis of the K/S statistic, so you can easily
perform this test with the help of a spreadsheet.  But we still don't
have that function built in.  I have a prototype built, and you'll
likely see this feature included one day soon.

We'll probably get it into the OS X compatible release, due when Apple
releases the new operating system in the summer. But the tools we need
don't get released until next month, so its hard to predict the
schedule.  Nevertheless, FlowJo worked with OS9 and the G4 the day they
shipped, and we'll endeavor to support OS X on that same timeframe.

Of course, that's relative to CellQuest on a G3.  On the same equipment
with the same data, FlowJo outperforms CellQuest hands down.
