QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ok. So I feel stupid here. All I've been needing to do to get CS5/QTR to work is use an RGB CreateICC profile?  The v2.7 BW Create-ICC profiles are not working at all with CS5/Snow-Leopard 10.6.4

I'll try and confirm this or else someone hear can beat me to the punch.

All the best,
Walker
