Hello Ed:
               It looks  they are still in business like photographic
lab, the entire name is "Novella Process", however they don't have a
web site, they are mentioned in general guides with the phone number
and address, the address is still the same where I sent the Scala
rolls for the slide process in 2003, I knew about them through a
photographic magazine and had communication via phone and email; when
Agfa discontinued the Scala process in 2004, "Novella Process" sold
Scala films very cheap and a friend of mine sent me some rolls I used
like negatives.

Talking about B&W slides, the Kodak kit for the TMax 100 is no longer
available, however there is a Formulary Photographers replacement
kit:: "...Formulary Reversal Process For T-Max Film is the formula
developed by Hans F. Dietrich and published in the March/April 1988
issue of Darkroom Techniques. The T-Max reversal process allows black
and white slides to be made from T-Max 100 or 400 black and white
negative film. The reversal process will produce excellent positives
from one to two stops higher with the same development time; however
negatives will be a thin positive. The kit makes five solutions (2
developers, bleach and a clearing bath). This kit will develop 4 rolls
of film...", it is available in Freestyle and B&H sells it as special
order item.

These are the kit instructions:
