### Examples

     ##Example I
     if (require(rflowcyt)) {

     ##obtaining the location of the fcs files in the data
      pathFiles<-system.file("bccrc", package="rfcdmin")
      drugFiles<-dir(pathFiles)

     ## reading in the FCS files
      drugData<-read.series.FCS(drugFiles,path=pathFiles,MY.DEBUG=FALSE)
     }

    ##Example II
     if (require(rflowcyt)) {
        ## obtaining the location of the fcs files in the data
        A06path<- paste(system.file("bccrc", package="rfcdmin"),"A06",sep="/")

        ## reading in the FCS files
        A06<-read.FCS(A06path)
     }
