Subject: [Leica] How to develop TriX for best results?

Hello

I'm a newbie to the LUG and keep reading praise on TriX in your mails. 
I've had a good time with Ilford's FP4 (developped with the late 
Promicrol, sob...) and out of darkroom-inertia have recently shot my b&ws 
on XP2. Having turned back to an old and not consumed flirt by buying a 
Leica M6 again (after years of not being able to afford one), I got this 
lust for rich negs back and would like to try the TriX (no pun intended) 
which seems to be your favorite for available light photography, the kind 
I'm interested in, too.

Could you please be so kind as to point me out, which is the best 
developer/dilution/temperature/time as for your darkroom experiences - be 
it the nominal 400ASA or pushing it to 800ASA?

Thanx in advance,
Lutz Konermann
