### Description

Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) files 'FCS' objects, using the version of `read.series.FCS` in rflowcyt on October 1, 2005.

The data come from a screening of a compound library. The screening was performed on a cell line. The name of one file corresponds to the position of the sample (cell line aliquot) in a 96 wells plate.

### Usage

    ## FCS files to be read with 'read.FCS' or 'read.series.FCS'
    ## function, see examples for details

### Format

binary FCS files

### 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)
     }
