     Thanks.  Many years ago I would load using the safelight in my
darkroom.  Thought I was getting away with something until a got two rolls
back that were various shades of green.  Then I started loading in total
darkness.  Oh misguided youth.  Could the green casts have been caused by
there not being enough IR preasent at the time film was exposed or due to
the possibility of heat damage caused during the time my film was in the
mail box/ traveled the route with the mail carrier/ time spent enroute to
Glenn Elen Ill. on a hot summer day.  I tried to time it so the film
wouldn't in the mail box but for a few minutes.
