	As a result of an anti-trust suit brought against Kodak, by the
Justice Dept. in the mid 1950's, Kodak agreed to let indpendent photofinishers
develop Kodachrome.  Kodak also introduced Ektachrome for exclusive photo-
finishing by the independents ( Fox-Stanley, Colorcraft, Berkey, et. al.).
Currently, less than 5% of all color photofinishing is chrome, be it
Koda or Ekta.  This means that most photofinishers either send chrome to
a "specialist" or to one of their larger labs or to Kodak.  As to the
difference in "quality", if *you* can't tell the difference or are
happy with what you're currently using, stick with it!
