Mark, I would still suggest you download Colorport and learn how to get the data out in the format that you want. Colorport is FREE from Xrite so all you would possibly lose is some time. Not sure what software you are using for color profiles, but it integrates directly with Profiler Gold and Platinum if installed on the same computer. Data can be saved to work with PrintOpen and probably the Gretag software too. You could probably even save in a format that works with the Colorvision software.

I find the chart builder options extremely valuable, the default patch sizes in Profiler are never ideal unless you are selling paper and ink. You can import charts from a text file, or create your own by typing in the values. it is also a nice light weight measurement application so you can run the measurement portion on really old computers with really slow processors.
