R help - Jul 2007 - Flow Cytometry Standard, fcs format in R.

Hi all.
How do I extract date from fcs format file with R. I.e I'd like
make statistical analysis using R-program, but I don't know if there
are R-packets for fcs format file, and using examples.

Thanks.

Pta: In Linux SO exist any program that transform from fcs format to
ASCII text file?

there is rflowcyt (older and on its way out) and flowCore, which 
contains a newer tool set
available at
www.bioconductor.org
