[BioC] Help please: FCS binary to ascii text using bioconductor

[David Lyon]

Hi

can someone let me know if flow cytometry binary files can be converted to ascii text using bioconductor?

I have spend days looking at the tutorials and searching forums but have yet to see that this can be done?

I have seen this done on windows based programs eg:
http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/ScientificSoftware/Utility/FCSExtract/index.htm

but wanted something that works on linux and can be used high throughput.


Thanks so much in advance for your help!
