What color space is the grayscale chart built in? Is it a CMYK space? 
If it is, I can format it into something that color port can import 
as a new custom chart, then people can just build their own target to 
use any tool that works to measure it.(decided to just go ahead and 
do it, it works) Just cut the text (between the lines) into a text 
editor or database editor and save as a .csv (comma seperated value)

The same type applies to the RGB formated targets (but only 3 fields 
and values from 0-255), if anyone wants to follow the above example. 
I'll post a different type later, not sure if there is any 
difference, but can't hurt.

Aside from not opening charts built in ColorshopX, I have found one 
other flaw. It won't make a target from the Prinopen RGB files. 
Colorport uses RGB levels from 0-255, Printopen uses levels from 0-
100. So for RGB profiles in Printopen, I still have some messing 
around to get the data out of Colorport, and into Printopen. CMYK 
charts import perfectly, and I then save the measurement as a CGATS 
formated txt file. Printopen opens that CGATS file without issue. 
This has made using Prinopen with my i1 effortless! Printopen 4 does 
not support scanning mode with the i1, and Printopen 5 is about 
$2000.00 away for the moment. Again, thanks for the link!!!!
