Check out Grams32 by Galactic software (http://www.galactic.com). They
have an import filter for Beckman files and you can export from Grams to
ascii, so you would not have to do anything with your current system.
There is a demo available on the internet. The program has a lot of
chromatography features (integration) as well as other spectroscopic
functions. The spectra can easily be copy and pasted to Powerpoint or
other OLE programs for presentation purposes. Exporting to ASCII is very
easy and the files can be opened with Excel, Origin, or whatever
spreadsheet you use. Grams also handle very large data sets that are
common to our time-of-flight files.
