I have seen a number of references to this substitution, but can only find one 
example at present:

See the note under the D-85 formula.  I have no idea whether it works!

  Fellow Silverados...


  Does anyone know what the purpose of Paraformaldehyde is in lith developers?


  If Acetone can be substituted, what is the ration of the substitution?


  How does Acetone compare to  Paraformaldehyde in the resulting print?


  Thank you in advance.
