John,

I think most of the post discussion on the difficulties on installing 
QuadTone RIP are related to the installing the software on a PC using 
Linux.  If you are using a Mac with OS X then I think you would find 
the installation very easy provided you follow the instructions from 
Roy's site and in the downloads very carefully, particularly the 
printer naming conventions.

I downloaded and installed the software very quickly on a Sunday 
afternoon.  The only problem I encountered was getting the profiles to 
load properly into the "CurvesDropDownBox" folder. In my case i think 
this was due to the OS X security keychains that I had set up.  i don't 
think you would have any problem getting QT RIP up and running on a OS 
X Mac.

I think in Linux you probably need to have good Unix and/or Linux 
skills at the command line level.

If you are doing a Mac installation and have problems feel free to 
contact me off list.

I think Roy and Carl have done a great service.

QT Rip and I have, in the last lines of Casablanca, ",,,the beginning 
of a beautiful friendship..."

Regards,

David
