Hi Marco,

I am not sure I follow exactly what you've done here.   It doesn't
appear that you are running ProteinProphet based on the steps you've
outlined.  I am not surprised the f-val histograms would look
different between 2 and 3 since PeptideProphet applies an automatic
probability filter of 0.05 % resulting in many wrong id's getting
tossed out.  To keep these after PeptideProphet use the option
MINPROB=0.
