 Will this program allow you to import these profiles rather than
forcing you to draw them on the screen.  For instance, you could do a
measured drawing on good paper, then scan this in, import the profile
as a jpg, gif, pcx, tif, or whatever, and then get the same result.
Please let me know, I have a colleague who could use just such a
thing.
 
Thanks,
