The formatting of the lines with x-y coordinates is important. If you get some thing
that doesn't work careful checking usually shows the problem. But if it "sure" looks right
sometimes there are invisible characters - just re-typing (not cut&paste) the whole
line will fix it.

Richard,

Not sure what I did but I am a little smarter now. I finally have it working, after 4 hours. The straight line "0;0 100;100" concept was an attempt to "bare bones" the issue. Strip it down to the most minimal configuration and diagnose it starting at that point.

I removed QTR completely from the computer, reboot, re-installed, same issue. Installed QTR from scratch on a different system & it worked, then it didn't, then it did. I finally created a profile from scratch & got it working. If you open quadprofile in a text editor and look at Line 41, it is a function call that passes the name of the profile. Doesn9;t matter - I renamed the profile to 'thang' & it didn't help.

All I can say is it is somewhere in the way the profile is passed to the quadprofile script and the formatting of the 'GRAY_CURVE=' statement. A "SWAG" is the issue lies somewhere between the formatting and the system's memory buffer.

What did start working was 11 steps of GRAY_CURVE="0;0 10;10 20;20... 100;100"
