Response to Xtol update... dreaded Xtol failures

I found it interesting to go back and develop TMY in Xtol once again, just to see what improvements may or not be gained over many of the other developers I have been testing it with. when it works, it is simply amazing, especially with TMY. the grain smoothing and tonality gradation is like no other. no failures of late, though I am tending to increase process durations 30% over Kodak recommendations. if I were to use their specs I doubt if I would have any highlights, which remains a mystery.
