As you may have guessed from the comment below, I obtained the information from
Kodak's technical documentation, and since you want me to be VERY specific, it
was Kodak publication F-9, catalog number 193 7101 (revised 6-99).  The
idiosyncrasy of TXT/TXP is apparent from the characteristic curves of the two
varieties of Tri-X, VERY specifically, F002_0355AC, F002_0357AC, F002_0361AC,
and F002-0363AC.
