Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR question - Mac error.

Hi Kerik,

The error indicates that the file is read-only to the program trying
to update it.
Possibly you're running as a different user id or the file's
permission was changed.

So the fixes should be pretty easy.  Either run as an admin user that
can overwrite the
file or just go to the folded
"/Library/Printers/QTR/quadtone/Quad3800/" using Finder.
Just drag the .quad file to the Trash.  (it may ask you for a admin password).

I'm pretty sure you will be fine then.
