Hi Daniel,

The Linux version is definitely more work and dirty hands

Yes, you have to download the 4.3.5 source, make changes
that are in the programs directory, compile and install it.  I've
included what I did on the Mac to get 4.3.5 running, so that
should help but I don't have Linux so I'm not sure.

Looks like you solved that one.

That's correct.  Curves for my setup are unlikely to be of use
to others since I mixed my own ink set.
