     For specifications of FACS 3.0 see <URL: http://www.isac-net.org>
     and the file <URL: ../doc/fcs3.html> in the 'doc' directory of the
     package.

     The FCS 3.0 has many options that are not yet implemented in this
     function. It works for the data produced by the FACS machine
     Calibur from BD Bioscience together with the software Cellquest
     Pro at the Division of Molecular Genome Analysis at the German
     Cancer Research Center. If you need extensions, please let me
     know.

     A matrix with column names (one row per cell, one column per
     measured parameter), and attribute 'text', a named character
     vector with keyword-value pairs.
