I wonder whether they are really doing that or just restarting the 
production of ORWO's warmtoned paper? (Agfa plant in the old DDR)
The plant producing Portriga, located in France, supposedly decided
to stop making all photo papers. at least so I heard.  This supposedly
precipitated the cancellation of Portriga.  

Whatever, if Agfa is actually going to again produce "REAL" Portriga,
of the pre-1986 period, all I can say is Bravo!
