Hi Kshitiz,

Thanks for your prompt response. Actually I dont have the mzXML files. I 
just have the mgf files using which I ran Mascot and got the .dat files. 
Now i want to convert the .dat files to pepxml. I was wondering if it is 
possible for me to convert the .dat files to pepxml with the mgfs. Right 
now, I have to separately convert the .raw files to mzXML to get TPP to 
convert .dat to .pepxml. I was wondering if I could do so without actually 
having the mzXMLs.

Thanks
Vidya
