My terrible experiences with Xtol are the biggest single reason why I 
switched to digital. I was able to make it work if I used only distilled 
water to mix it and dilute it, but every time I tried any other kind of 
water it ruined the film.

If I ever develop another roll of film (seems unlikely) I will use HC110 
Dilution B, which has never let me down.
