hi brian,

i did not use RAW files but mgf files. hence, i am not very sure what you
mean...

the converter execution looked like this:

/usr/local/apps/tpp/bin/Mascot2XML
/IMSB/results/workflow/188/mascot_createAscFile/125380469701.dat
-D/IMSB/data/databases/swissprot_57.7/sp_9606.fasta -E trypsin -Ip


cheers,
andreas
