Oh, man!  That stuff hasn't been made since about 1974 or 
so, and was absolutely HORRIBLE stuff then.
The thermal developer emitted nasty smells and filled the 
whole unit with white crystals.  The paper turned brown 
after a few weeks exposure to room lights.  So, good for 
short-term copies only.
