[BioC] Newbie 'rflowcyt' question; problem loading facscan256.fcs (fwd)

[Nolwenn LeMeur]

Hi Ulrik,

We don't think that setting the locate globally is a good idea as it 
might interfer with other programs. 

I will make sure that the locate is checked at the beginning of the 
reading function and will add a warning message in case of 
incompatibility.

Thanks for pointing out that problem,
Nolwenn

It works wonders - also with rflowcyt 1.4

Can and should I set the locate globally? and how do I do that?

Thanks a bunch! I cant wait to start playing with rflowcyt....
