That's interesting. I'd love to see examples of ICE working on 
Pyro-developed B&W negs. Although there is a stain, the silver is 
still there (unless you bleach your negatives after fixing) and it 
is the silver that messes ICE up (it is opaque to IR).

In response to the OP, there is a free plug-in from Polaroid called 
Dust and Scratch Removal (DSR) that can be used with Photoshop or 
as a stand-alone application. It definitely ain't ICE, but it 
actually does a passable job at detecting and "cloning out" dust 
marks. You can Google for it (I don't have a link handy).
