Dear Greg:
Just a comment on darkroom design. Once you have a "dark room," the next
most important item is ventilation. I have a kitchen exhaust fan on the
wall above the sink and a double furnace filter in a light trap on the
opposite wall. This pulls fumes, etc. away from you, and replaces the
exhausted air with dust filtered air.
	Regards,
