Re: Cellquest Pro files into Cellquest

Hi,

Here is something you can try, although I'm not sure if it would work. 
If you open a FCS file using Word or a text editor, you can see that 
CellQuest Pro is mentioned somewhere, along with the version number if I 
remember correctly.

If that software name and version number are the only things CellQuest 
is looking for to decide whether or not to load the file, then 
theoretically, it should be possible to edit the file using a hex editor 
and modify it accordingly. Please use a copy of the file before trying 
it and backup your data before, just in case.

It might not be worth it though, and in most cases it is easier just to 
to go a computer with CellQuest Pro instead of going through all this.

Martin
