Thanks, Sam. It seems to be a different beast altogether. I spent some
time experimenting with this and came to the conclusion that it is actually
quite sensitive to red and yellow light, which explains the fogging problem
I was having. It's big - 30"x50 foot rolls, so total dark handling is a big
problem!

Keith,
Sounds like a reversal "line" film to me. Try giving it a lot of exposure
and then develop. "A lot" may mean more than the usual darkroom amount,
since some of these are meant to be exposed by UV lights and are yellow bug
light safe.
Most likely it is also very high contrast, so once you determined if it is
"reversal" and at what approximate speed, you can try some of the developers
that people have used for "lith" type of films to tame the contrast.
Kodak made a few of this kind of film, some under the heading of RECORDAK, I
believe. They were for microfilm in addition to the printing industry. All
obsolete now, I'm afraid.
