I've used the stuff, off and on, Since the early '70s.
The film being used is standard motion picture negative film; 52/7247 and
it's offspring. It's processed normally, C-41, and a transparency is printed
from it.

The only difference is that, because of it's extreme latitude, it has a
carbon, light absorbing backing which must be removed during processing.
Commercial processors add two tanks, a pre-soak and a scrubber, to the
beginning of the line. Everything else down stream is standard. 

If you process it by hand, you will find it easiest to remove the carbon
backing between the fix and the wash.
