My naive thought is that it should be feasible if the negatives are processed to a CI of around 0.58, but in my case a little knowledge may be a very dangerous thing indeed!
My usage of Divided Pyrocat was only for a scanning workflow.
In the recent thread on developers Finest Grain 120 Film & Developer Combo Currently Available (which prompted Larry to resurrect this thread) I made the following suggestion:
"...keep in mind that with Divided Pyrocat, all images are automatically developed to the same contrast level. For a scanning workflow, that's not a problem since we can always add contrast in an editing tool. For a darkroom workflow you may need to make a few adjustments to get a contrast level which works for your workflow of light source/paper/developer etc."
