Thanks.  As a matter of fact, the instruction for D76 include
life-expectancy data for 1:1 as well as full strength, though the
instruction sheet for HIE says just "D-76" with no qualifier (so I
would assume full strength) and 11 minutes at 20 degrees for a small
tank.  I would have expected longer development times would be needed
with the dilute developer, but perhaps Kodak is assuming greater
contrast?
