It was a very viable alternative to Agfachrome and came in a bright green box. It was process paid and manufactured in Germany (there were rumours that it was made by Agfa). To the best of my knowledge it used Agfas unique process which was different to E6 and the reversal stage was not achieved chemically but by exposing the film to light. I remember processing my own Agfachrome and found the act of taking the film out of the tank and exposing it to a Photoflood bulb half way through the process to be absolutely frightening, but it worked fine and gave me some good results.
