Unfortunately Xkaes, I can not open it on my Mac from Chrome, Safari or Firefox.
I did change my security levels for it but it can not be open.
Any tips?

Is the formula for Unitol, apparently based on Meritol, known?

Sorry Raghu, in my 48 years in photography I never heard of that developer.
I must admit, I was expecting much more from that article.

Unitol was probably available only in UK but it was quite popular apparently:

'Good Photography' magazine for November 1961 carried an announcement that Johnsons of Hendon had filled their one-millionth bottle of Unitol. This meant enough developer had been manufactured to process 16.5 million films in 10 years.
