Install command accepts one curve but not modification of that curve.

2008-12-11 by robert49brake

QTR 2.6.1, OS X 10.5.5, PSCS3    Copying an ACV curve from photoshop by dragging the ACV file to the text editor has worked fine until 
suddenly it will not accept a modification of a curve.

The acceptance of the  curve is shown here in the terminal page:

Creating curve 1800-UT3D2MK-EEM-C7


And here where a modification of one of the curves is not accepted:

/users/rpb/desktop/1800-acvs/m-7.acv did not return valid coordinates at /Library/Printers/QTR/bin/quadprofile line 39
 
I have run the text file with curve one and it is accepted every time.  Running an identical file with the second curve is rejected every 
time.

Are there any rules to ACV curves that are transferred from PS in this manner?
