.TH "MASSXPERT" "1" "September 2009"

.SH "NAME"
massxpert \- massXpert mass spectrometry software package (binary
files)

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBmassxpert\fR [  \fB< \-h | \-\-help > < \-c | \-\-config > < \-v | \-\-version > \fP]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents briefly the \fBmassxpert\-bin\fR package
that brings a mass spectrometric software suite for linear
(bio\-)polymers. This package contains an executable program
(\fBmassxpert\fR) that provides four graphical modules that are used
to: 1) define polymer chemistries (XpertDef); 2) make use of the
definitions in the \fBmassxpert\fR's calculator module (XpertCalc) and
3) in its polymer sequence editor/chemistry/mass spectrometry
simulator (XpertEdit); 4) compare lists of (m/z,z) pairs so as to mine
the data (XpertMiner).
