Hi Tom. Like to try this developer, but I don't know if it should be diluted. As you know, most warm tone developers are not used undiluted. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

Agfa/Ansco (Formulas For Photographic Use, 1939) recommend for Agfa/Ansco 135:
For use, dilute 1 part solution with one part water. A properly exposed print will be fully developed at 70 deg. F (21 deg. C) in about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.For greater softness, dilute the bath wth water up to equal quantities of developer and water. To increase the warmth, add bromide (KBr) up to double the amount in the formula. The amount of bromide specifed in the formula, however, assures rich, warm, well balanced tones.
The Agfa/Ansco 135 (1939) formula is exactly the same as the one published by Morris Germain in 1940.

I've found this formula to give really nice, warm brown tones with Azo.

I've been using this formula with Forte PWT and Fortezo. It produces nice warm tones on the PWT, but the Fortezo suffers the "Geen" effect in it. I switched to the Ansco 135 after using Defender 55-D for many years.
