Hi Andrew,

I'm not quite sure what you're asking here.  (Note, I'm changing the  
topic to mark this as a separate thread.)  ReAdW depends on the  
"Xcalibur" software to be installed.  This is Thermo software, usually  
distributed with the machines.  It breaks the license agreement with  
Thermo to copy or redistribute those DLLs.

*However*, that said, the "ProteoWizard" project has a newer  
converter, "msconvert", which we have bundled with the TPP so it's  
already installed on your computer (and can be run through Petunia,  
the TPP's "web interface".)  This program also converts Thermo RAW  
files (among many other vendors' file types, with appropriate  
software), and only requires a *free* software download from Thermo.   
Take a look at the top of the TPP 4.3.1 release annoucement (on this  
list) for more details.

However, in neither case should you need to do anything but install  
the Thermo software to the usual locations.  No manual copying of DLLs  
should be required.

Please let us know how it goes,

Natalie
