[BioC] rflowcyt and prada questions

[Nolwenn LeMeur]

Hi Andras,

Just a quick note to let you know that I've made some progress but I 
have not solved the problem yet.
The problem comes from the $DATATYPE where in FCS2.0 the data are stored 
as integer (I) and in FCS3.0 as single float precision (F).

I have also tried to read the files with prada and have the same problem.
