And I believe there is one more clue missing from Jimmy's translation: when one of these WIFF files is converted to mzXML, then X!Tandem produces a good result. So item 1 is out, leaving just 2 or 3.
Zhi, would you post a link to a zip file including a WIFF file, its mzML file, its mzXML file, and the respective search results from each file. Maybe some kind person would have a look at that zip file and see if the problem becomes apparent? Thanks, Eric > From: [email protected] [mailto:spctools- > > I'll be a translator.
