Do you also have some of this mixed-up to use as a film developer? I have read great things about this developer as a film developer in addition to being a great paper developer........Regards!

You put it in PET plastic bottles, filled to the rim, and it will last until past September ... 2030! - David Lyga

Ansco uses Glycin as one of the developing agents. Paradoxically Glycin is not very stable in dry form (as many users can attest) but unusually stable when dissolved in a sulfite solution like Ansco 130. It is powerful but slow working. In its action it is similar to metol but is much more sensitive to bromide.
