 David,
Yes in the same developer, not a special IR developer, which AFAIK
doesn't exist. See my homepage how I develop HIE and/or SFX200

See also my Infrared Photography Homepage specially made for you with
lots of information, infrared/lith pictures and links to other
interesting infrared-photography sites.
