Steve-
You can download the program at:

http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRdownload.html

On the PC, if you install the program and go to Program Files\QTR\Eye 
One, there is a a program called Create ICC.  You drop the I1 Measure 
Tool text file on the program and it creates the ICC profile in the 
directory to text file was in.

You are welcome to email me if you need more help.
