They have been built as custom charts in ColorPort. The grayscale one in 
(CMY)K the RGB one in RGB. As the info says the files have to be put in 
the respective folders of documents and settings and then the two can be 
seen and chosen in the ColorPort menus of CMYK or RGB targets and the 
corresponding measure patches show in the measurement part of ColorPort. 
The TAB and XML files are there for filing. For actual printing and 
measuring you can use the customised QTR 21 step target. Of course you 
can make them yourself with a CSV file but at least for Windows it has 
been done already.
