Thanks to everyone who responded to my initial email regarding the development of an open-source prototyping system for analytic flow cytometry. I just recieved another email, which reminded me that I'd not communicated back to a few of those who responded. Our current status is that we are still debugging "real" examples, especially reading raw FCS files (we are learning more about the myriad contortions for storing packed binary data than we'd every imagined existed, and we weren't novices to start out with). We are getting better at auto-detection along with "fixed" settings for various units. I will be following up again in late November/December as we expand our test cases to look at more applicability to other protocols, statistical inferential tools, and visualization approaches. I really appreciate the feedback from the numerous groups (brave souls!) who have dived in to provide us with helpful feedback, bugs, and test cases. It's moving along slowly, and while I can't promise release dates (we only have partial funding, and none for me), I'd really like it to be useful to others by spring. best, -tony -- A.J.
