I believe I am not the only person confused about the above topic. Cellquest will not even read Cellquest generated files if they have taken a brief excursion off the hard drive ie. to your file server . Facsconvert was explained to me, and the users's guide also states, that this program converts FCS 1.0 files to FCS 2.0. How then it also restores the infamous Mac data resource fork is a mystery to me. Ideally , we here would like to send our cellquest generated data files to our unix file server for offline analysis on PC's and Macs. The Verity House programs are quite happy with the file format. To run every file through Facsconvert so that it can be read on whatever Mac configuration we eventually come up with is a distressing thought. The error rate in file conversion seems to be quite high and most end users will find this whole procedure to be a pain in the neck. I am the greatest fan of BD optical benchs, but I hope they will make this mess go away soon. Marcia Woda UMMC FACS Facility http://www.ummed.edu:8000/pub/g/gmarr e-mail Marcia.Woda@BANYAN.UMMED.EDU
