Walt ...

The narrow band sticky wrapper shows "TXP" only. I assume that this is the
lower case "Professional" version. Complicated .....what's the difference
between the "320TXP" and "TXP" versions?

Elsewhere in the deep freezer I have one roll of Tri-X 400 film labelled
"400TX" and one roll of  Plus-X labelled "125PX".

I assume the Plus-X is the finer grained film.

Film Code TXP, ASA/ISO/EI 320/640.  And there's PROFESSIONAL Tri-X 400, Film
Code 400TX, ASA/ISO/EI 400/800.  Finally, there's Tri-X Pan, Film Code TX,
ASA/ISO/EI 400/800.

with something usable, maybe a little grainy, depending on what you expect,
but good.  Tri-X is my second favorite B&W film, right behind Plus-X, of
which there are only three kinds.  :-)
