Ray, about five years ago the local store was clearing out this film so I
bought forty rolls.  I ended up giving about twenty rolls to my photography
students who seemed unable to really screw it up.  Meaning that it was very
tolerant of exposure mistakes and processing errors.

Sharpness was good and grain was ok maybe in the same league as Ilford's
FP4.  In fact, I would say that tonality and characteristic curve was
similar to FP4.

As to a darkroom, why don't you acquire a changing bag, a tank and reels,
some bottles from a druggist and process B&W at home?  With the negatives a
mini lab can generated decent prints with some coaxing on your part.
