    Function
</H2>
Shows molwts that match across a set of files
<H2>
    Description
</H2>

<b>mwcontam</b> finds molecular weights that are common between a set of
mass spectrometry result files.  Such molecular weights are usually a form of
contamination resulting from autolysis of a protease, degradation of the
matrix or presence of keratin from the sample preparer. 

<p>

The output of <b>mwcontam</b>, with minimal editing, can be added to the
data file for the <a href="mwfilter.html"><b>mwfilter</b></a> program
('Emwfilter.dat').

<H2>

<p>

The input is a comma-separated list of files containing simple list of
experimental molecular weights. 

<p>

There should be one weight per line.
   
<p>

Comments in the data file start with a '#' character in the first
column. 

<p>

Blank lines are ignored.
   


<H2>
    Output file format
</H2>

The output is a list of the molecular weights common to all files.

<b>mwcontam</b> uses no data files.

<p>

The output of <b>mwcontam</b>, with minimal editing, can be added to the
data file for the <a href="mwfilter.html"><b>mwfilter</b></a> program
('Emwfilter.dat').  For example you might like to fetch 'Emwfilter.dat'
using <b>embossdata</b> (as described in the <b>mwfilter</b>
documentation) and edit it to include the lines:

<p>

<hr>
