Hi Paul,

I was able to convert your QTR curve "Eb6-Quad-1-PaBW-2880.qidf" to a usable form via 
"save as" in Curve Creator.  However when I try the same thing for your QTR curve "Eb6-
PaSmBW-qtr2880.qidf" I get the message "Invalid linearize curve-- not constantly 
increasing. Curve creation failed." And so that curve remains unusable for me in QTRGui.

Suggestions?

Thanks so much.

Mike
