I downloaded the filed and tried this method, but the Dot Gain file I created didn't 
show up in Proof Setup. There is some problem in Mac OS X with this in that for 
ImagePrint one has to create an alias or copy profiles to an Application Support/
Adobe/Color/Profiles folder in order for the profiles to show up in PS7 Proof Colors. 
Even after creating such an alias the Custom Dot Gain profiles I create still don't show 
up in Proof Colors. Too bad, because you method you suggested in more elegant 
than the method that I have been using.
