Andrew:
Try FCSPress, its not free but at $250 USD it's a bargain. It can do all
the things you ask as well as software compensation, kinetics analysis,
parameter ratioing,as well as other parameter calculations (including
adding time as a parameter if you didn't collect it originally) and is
very compatible with MS Office Products. You can download a demo copy at
FCSPress.com and try it for 30 days. I quite like it myself.
Regards,
Joanne
