Note that the X!Tandem that ships with TPP only speaks mzML1.0 - we're
working hard with the ProteoWizard crew to get 1.1 support without losing
1.0, we're soooo close now...

To add to that previous post. What I had mentioned before was
converting the files to mzML format. The option to do this within the
TPP petunia interface already uses msconvert. However, if I can do it
with only centroiding the MS/MS functions, that would be preferred. It
looks like I can only do this from within the command line interface.
