Yes you are right Richard. Even though I copied the subject line directly
from the article to this post's subject, it is certainly misleading; my
apologies for propagating mis-information.
Quoting Mr. Michael Mueller, CEO of a & o group said in a statement: "*The
contract of purchase has been signed. The production of chemicals for all
films and papers that are necessary for the development of photographs will
continue on this site"*.
His statement is ambiguous, since AGFA has film developers other than
Rodinal, and because Rodinal isn't *necessary *to develop all AGFA films,
then one can't conclude that Rodinal is covered in the purchase.

Peter
