Proteowizard's msconvert utility is a must have tool for converting MS/MS data in almost any proprietary MS/MS data run into almost any of the commonly used open formats. While this tool is available on both Windows and Linux, the ability to convert many common formats under Linux is unavailable due to the need to have vendor specific libraries (dlls). Fortunately it *is* possible to run the Windows version of msconvert under Linux using Wine, a open source compatibility layer.
