Bo,

As Mike says, msconvert is the right way to go for conversions.

I'm sorry to hear that IT won't allow you to install TPP.  While I can
understand their concern about installing and running a web server -- there
are ways to mitigate security risks, such as making sure your firewall is
active and blocking all external access to port 80.

There is a alternative that I've been working  that might work for you.
I've written a little web application called TWA (TPP Web Launcher for
Amazon) that you could use to run your own computer instance on Amazon's
cloud services.  It takes care of most of the complexity of maintaining EC2
instances (virtual computers on the cloud)  that come with TPP already
installed.  Unfortunately it does cost money to use (AWS isn't free), but
for a single instance it isn't very expensive (large instance @ $.34/hr).
The application is at: http://tools.proteomecenter.org/twa and I'm currently
working on putting together more detailed documentation and a tutorial on
how to use it.  If your interested please let me know and I can help you get
started with it.
