Thanks for the good answers and even for those that completely misread my
post.  I wasn't thinking about using it to test for the advancement of
film
in a camera.  That is probably what they want.  As to those that thought
my
post had anything to do with digital (just because I mentioned in this day
of digital) I only shoot film.  I scan my film for digital shots.  The
weird
thing is that they say in the adverstisements, out of date film but never
anything about the format.  You could send them sheet film so that would
not
have anything to do with the advancement of the film.  Also, they don't
rule
out 110 film and who fixes those things any more?  I guess I will just
have
to contact the people and ask them what in the world do you want out of
date
film for?  Thanks again.  Ric.
