Digital BW, The Print

I am replying to my own post so this gets tracked in the same forum.

I tired generating a curve to boost a little more of the cool toner into my slightly warm 
prints.

My results were a bit stronger than expected. The poor girl in the test image came out 
looking like papa smurf. HEAVY blue.

I made a curve that was linear and just gave it a healthy, but not obscene boost in the mid 
to 25% tones.

I saved it as "toner_curve_1.acv" refrenced it in the curve file 
"TONER_CURVE=toner_curve_1.acv" and made sure it was in the same directory as the 
profile.

When I ran the profile the terminal window posted this:

Enter Descriptor Filename or Drag file to window: /Volumes/Drive\ Two/CurveDesign/
Other\ Inks/2200-UT-PR-cool.txt 
usage: qacv filename.acv curvenum >curve.out
Creating curve 2200-UT-PR-cool for QUAD2200

I took a look at some elses curves and they reference a file called "toner-curve.raw" which 
is a raw photoshop file. There is a corresponding "toner-curve.acv" file that has a very 
unsual shape.

What do I need to understand about toner curve design, naming, and file formats?
