John,

The curves aren't just pieced together curves.  Although the curves may change
slope they are all at least continuous.  I don't have any plans for changing
the way it is -- mainly because that would involve redoing all existing profiles.
But I'm curious what you found smoother in your curves.  I'm not sure how
you made them.
