Bjorn et al.,

Just like you I'm not familiar with the qualscore tool.
I was hoping to get some information from the spctools discussion list as to 
what input files are necessary to run the qualscore tool.
The small documentation file mentions that one needs an interact.xml file as 
input (see below)

The usage file clearly mentions that one needs an interact.xml file as input to 
the qualscore tool, but apparently it also needs an underlaying mzXML file 
holding the fragmentation spectra (see previous posting).
Since I'm converting my mascot .dat file to a .pep.xml file, I also end up with 
a zipped file containing all underlaying peptide fragmentation spectra .tgz 
instead of an mzXML file. I believe that is the reason why the software is not 
running properly. Digging into the code is of course an option, but I was 
hoping the get some useful feedback from this discussion list.

Regards,
Gerben


QualScore version 1.0_2 Copyright (C) 2006
Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle WA
QualScore is free software and comes with absolutely no warranty.

Usage:  java -jar qualscore.jar <options> <interact-data file>

        Input is interact-data.htm or interact.xml.
        Output will consist of a set of .dta files determined to be high 
quality unassigned.
        By default the .dta files are written to a directory,
         but they may also be listed to a file.

Options:
        -c      -c <number> Use Qualscore 'cutoff' instead of the default
                 Qualscore of 1.0 to determine which spectra are good qualit
                y.

        -p      -p <number> Consider identifications with PeptideProphet
                 probability below <number> to be 'unassigned' (default is 0
                .1).

        -o      -o <path>   Tool output written to given path.

        -l      List spectra and quality scores to a file, rather than
                 writing to directory.

        -lp     List spectra, PeptideProphet probability, and quality score
                 to a file.

        -a      Used with -l (or -lp) to list all quality scores.

But while trying this I bumped into the an error stating that
