Nor is it likely to be, you are basicly asking them to send you a somewhat 
better example of the random range that comes off the assemply line...

Well I've run it, and it reads about ten patches and generates a simple 
profile...

Can I take advantage of the RGB

Nope, not unless you do that with another program first... PreCAl that ships 
with OptiCal woudl allow this, but PhotoCal and ProveIt have the utility 
built in, and not seperable, unless you just abort in the middle of the 
program.

 Apparently with

Thats because their utility is more like a demo of it being possible then a 
full fledged program to do it...

I have ProveIt, but I don't think the Spectrocam is supported,

Nope...

Without a supported Colorimeter, thats about right....

I'd say get it for use with ProfilerPro, and hope that you will soon be able 
to get a monitor application to use with it as well. It holds promise for LCD 
calibration too...
