You seem to be suggesting I am trying to leach off this group, I am
not. And I made no mention at all of any wishes for simpler or less
expensive methods of production, although I am sure in time all this
stuff will become exactly that.
Marco, I like you, earn my living from providing services in this
field and realise exactly how much know-how and technology is
required. So despite not being independently wealthy, in this
instance I was just looking for help with a problem that I was trying
to solve as a favour for a friend.
My copy of Profilemaker has a Multicolour mode that covers CMYKRGB.
What I hadn't realised was this target had been defined as CMYK+N, so
although I could measure the target I could not work the data. So
instead I returned the measured data so the profile could be made at
source.
Thanks again for everyone who responded.

Just to give you some background, as I have now found out, a set of
print targets where specified as multicolour but as i1 IO format, a
set of gravure cylinders made and then no one could read the targets.
I could read the targets but couldn't make the profile, insufficient
license. But the the originators can, so they did!
I now have the profile but can't check it cos I don't have a license
for the plugin... hey ho, colour management, don't we just love
it....

Well, Eric, a multi-color profile (CMYK+n) has always required
specialized tools to produce it. In ProfileMaker, it necessitates
the Multi-Color module, which is extra and requires an additional
purchase. Multi-color spaces are not exactly common yet. Photoshop
has just started dealing with them in CS4, kind of (by using
Multichannels, which is not exactly the most ideal way to handle
them).
However much you may like things to be simpler or less expensive,
wishing it doesn't make it so. There's a lot of technology involved,
and know-how, and I haven't yet met anyone (aside from the
independently wealthy) who likes to work for free.
