I have a student in my darkroom class who will be bringing in to develop a roll 
of Plenachrome 120 film that was in an old box camera he just purchased.  Since 
this film is 50 years old or more, I expect it is fogged.  Would it help to add 
some Benzotriazole solution? I have some on hand and the container says that it 
is used for paper, but could it help the film?  We have no idea how long to 
develop the film in Xtol, but I expect we can't overdevelop it.   We don't 
expect this film will yield much, but what the heck, we have to try.
