Austin: what is ModFit S/W? We are aware of ModFit LT for the Mac. gemarti

Austin Lin enquired :
>>I need some advices regarding the use of ModFit S/W.
>>For example, one set of data can
>>have 10% G0/G1, 80% S and 10% G2/M. The s/w scans three peaks and take the
>>second S peak as G2/M peak. Another example will be a set of data with 20%
>>G0/G1 and 80% S and invisible G2/M. The s/w will scan and see only one
>>peak.
>>
>>Would anyone suggest a good
>>Mac-s/w for us? (We have a FACScan and Macintosh Quadra 650) Thank you in
>>advance.
