With Tmax 100, I've always liked Rodinal 1:50 @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 68 degrees for 11 minutes.

Agitate continuously first 30 secs, then for 5 secs every 30 secs 
thereafter.  And Rodinal is still available.

If ambient temperature is a concern, use a water bath of 68 degrees in
which 
you sit your loaded tank between agitation cycles.
