Gum prints with the enlarger

Some time ago I wrote on the list, that Phillipe Berger from Belgium had found a
way to sensitize paper for gum dichromate printing so it can be exposed with an
ordinary enlarger - directly from a 35mm negative. However he does not want to
reveil his secret without some financial equivalent. He now wrote to me that he
is willing to send a booklet (22 pages) for 600,-- DEM (400 USD), in which he
explains this process, as well as his approach to tricolor gum and the Sury
Color process, which he reinvented. The fee would include a demonstration (in
french) of his gum process for a group of max. 5 persons at his home in
Comblain-au-Port, Belgium.
It was not clear to me yet, wether every new user of the process would have to
pay this sum, or wether this would be his *daguerrian* pension for making the
process available to all of us...
Anybody interested or any comments?
