Good. Is there some more documentation coming? I find this slightly 
underdocumented. While I can decode the usage of reading from the display 
app, the usage for writing kinda eludes me. Especially since I would like 
to be able to export as many channgls as MAX supports...

Also... should I implement any of this deblur, knee etc. stuff in the 
import, or should I simply import the data as-is and let the existing MAX 
functions for tweaking response curves do that job instead? As I feel 
those functions are kinda meant for DISPLAY anyway... right?

Actually I realized MAX takes care of this for me so I dont need to 
bother.
