[Frameworks] Formula for processing 7240 reversal as vhf or e6?

I would suggest that, since running E-6 process of VNF film provides 
reasonable (if muted) color, and reduced contrast, that merely increasing
the contrast would probably make you happy.

If I were looking to do this in a small batch environment, I'd first try
just increasing the first developer time, say by 50%, to move the gamma
up somewhat.  If that were not sufficient I might consider doubling the
first developer time, but if that did not bring the gamma up where you
want it, I would consider a more active first developer. 

I would be inclined to leave all the rest of the E-6 chemistry alone.

Now... all that said, I just had Yale run some 7239 for me through
the conventional E-6 bath and while the contrast was quite reduced
compared with VNF processing, the effect was quite nice and was appropriate
for the work.
