Yes, the decoys are in a separate list in the .dat file. The database 
matches are in the section starting: 

 Content-Type: application/x-Mascot; name="peptides"  

while the decoys are in the section starting:

Content-Type: application/x-Mascot; name="decoy_peptides" 

In the decoy PSM lists Mascot simply uses the name of the database entry 
from which the decoy sequence is derived - with no addition of 'REV' or 
'decoy' or any other indication to the name - just to  be extra confusing. 
So Mascot2XML will have to add some suitable prefix. 

Thanks,
Alastair
