Msconvert can convert successfully to mzML. However, it does not work for mzXML fully. Trapper can convert to mzXML only.

msconvert

X!Tandem search: Terry had to edit runtandemsearch to make it work on mzML. Then, search ran for 7 days without completing. Zhi thinks she has seen the same problem.

Conversion: using remoteconvert.pl --convertWith readw, produced no results. Omitting --convertWith flag, tried using massWolf, and failed. Second try managed to send file to server, took indefinitely long to convert and send back file--file has yet to have been received.
