Christian,

readw is and will always be a windows app because it makes use of
windows DLLs supplied by Thermo to read the raw files.  If you really
want to get away from the data transfers (which you can automate ...
search for 'conversion server' on this group to see Greg Taylor's
recipe for installing openssh on a Windows box), you'll have to look
into an application like Wine or the commercial version CrossOver.  I
believe the latter is actively being used for running readw on linux
on the Sorcerer box by Sage-N and I haven't heard any reports of
problems.  On the other hand, I haven't heard of a successful Wine
implementation yet for what that's worth.

And in case you're not already using compression, add the '--compress'
command line option to compress the peak lists.
