I *HAD* some Pyrocat HD, but tossed it because it was two years old and one
of the two plastic bottles was collapsing. I hate doing a *test* run on
something with a confounding variable such as dead developer to mess up the
conclusions. But I am ordering from PF tomorrow, so I'll give it a try.
Thanks!

I only had a small amount of this film left when I first tried PyroCat 
HD.  From the limited sampling that I tried, it was the nicest 
combination that I recall using with Agfa 400.  It also scanned nicer 
than other, non-staining developers that I had used with the film.  They 
were very easy to print negatives with good shadow detail and the 
highlights printed nicely, too.
