Hi Graeme,
doing some preliminary tests (1.3.2), I found a couple of anomalies.

First, with my system the following command locks permanently until I press
CTRL-C:

 D:\>D:\Argyll_V1.3.2\bin\targen.exe -v -d 4 -g 10 -f 1000 -l 300 test
 CMYK test chart
 Compostie Grey steps = 10
 Full spread patches = 1000
 Ink limit = 300.0% (underlying 300.0%)
 Adaptation weights: Device = 0.935, Perceptual = 0.065, Curvature = 0.010
 Perceptual cache resolution = 7
 Acceleration grid res = 6

 There are 10 unique fixed points to add (13 non-unique)
 There are 987 far spread points to add
 Added 980/997[]<-cursor jumping here when stalling

Without now discussing the choiche of arguments, it looks it's the combination
of -g with -f options causing the stall. Removing -g or -f and using other
arguments, the commands runs fine till the end.

The computer is a PIV dual core 3.2 Ghz, 2GB ram, Windows XP.
The task manager shows the targen command running with 50% CPU usage.

Second. Is it an intended behaviour that printtarg always generates
testcharts with horizontal orientation ? Usually one may prefer a vertical
orientation instead, since most of times the paper used is higher than wider, 
and
I have to rotate it 90 degree clockwise every time.

thanks for support
/&
