Richard,

Could you name three brands and formats i should look into?  Back in
1982/3 i rented a 4x5 camera once to complete an assignment for a glossy
magazine spread.  I used Ektachrome sheet film if i recall correctly.

My Durst enlarger can handle a maximum negative/positive size of 6cm x
9cm.  I would need to get another enlarger.  My darkroom (still to be
rebuilt) is _very_ small.

Quite correct.  My GP gave me the anti-biotic to act as a preemptive
measure in case the weakened immune system gave pneumonia or sinusitis a
chance to develop.  Some people up here actually did develop a pneumonia
after this "cold/flu" combo virus.  I don't know if the pneumonia was
the viral or bacterial variety.
