+<h3>Usage Details and Discussion</h3>
+txt2ti3 takes the Gretag/Logo/X-Rite/etc. test chart
+results, and converts them
+into Argyll&nbsp;<a href="File_Formats.html#.ti3">.ti3</a> CGATS files.<br>
+It is quite common to find profile test chart data from various
+standards bodies and industry organizations in one of these formats,
+so it is
+useful to be able to convert them for use with Argyll. ICC profiles
+created using Gretag Profile Maker also commonly contain the test chart
+results embedded in the profile, inside an ICC tag.<br>
+<br>
+A variety of different packaging of Gretag/Logo data can be accepted: <br>
+<br>
+1&nbsp;source files, consisting of a combined device value and CIE
+and/or spectral values.<br>
+2 source files, consisting of &nbsp;a file containing the device
+values, and a file containing the CIE and/or spectral values.<br>
+2 source files, consisting of a file containing the device values and
+the CIE values, and a file containing the spectral values.<br>
+3 source files, consisting of a file containing the device values, a
+file containing the CIE values, and a file containing the spectral
+values.<br>
+<br>
+X-Rite ColorPort seems to produce a single source file containing
+combined device value and CIE
+and/or spectral values.<br>
+<br>
+The Gretag/Logo test chart results format seem to change with each
+minor release of Profile Maker, so this tool may not work in all
+cases.<br>
+<br>
+The <span style="font-style: italic;">outbasefile</span> is the base
+of the output file(s), to which txt2ti3 will automatically append a
+.ti3 and .ti2 extension.<br>
+<br>
+The input files may have data that is scaled to one of three levels:
+1.0, 100.0 or 255.0, and txt2ti3 attempts to guess what the appropriate
+range is, in order to scale to Argyll's standard range 0 .. 100.0.<br>
