Digital BW, The Print

George,

The only files you should have in your CurveDropBox folder are those 
with a .quad extension.  I think you may have moved the UT profile 
descriptor files from their original folder (Profiles), which also 
contains a toner-curve.raw file that must stay in the same folder with 
the .txt profile descriptor files when you use run-quad-profile to load 
them.  The cool, neutral, and sepia profiles all use this 
toner-curve.raw file and the reason they didn't load is probably 
because the toner-curve.raw file couldn't be found.
