QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm not sure how you check to see what version you are running, but I'm sure I downloaded 
QTR 2.6.2 and that must be what I have since I have the install files in with each of the 
Profile folders.

I tried it and it ran.  Question:  where does it place the xxx.quad files???  I did a search and 
could not find them.  It looks like it got installed correctly though since it is showing up 
under the "Curves" dialog box in QTR.  I remember doing this when I installed some other 
curves I had downloaded, but I thought the intermediate process before linearization was 
different when creating curves.

So after I linearize the file and curve does the install routine update and overwrite the old 
curve or should I rename the file to something different, or should I go in and delete the 
old one some how before doing the final install???

Thanks so much for your help, it is kind of confusing when all of the instructions tell you 
one thing and you're supposed to do another.
