NegaFix on Kodak CL film

I just bought a Plustek 7600Ai and I'm learning how to best scan negatives. The negatives I'm scanning are labeled Kodak CL 200 5093. I'm assuming that CL is the film type and 200 is the setting. Anyone know what the 5093 is?
On NegaFix I'm using Kodak Gold 100 as the default for these negatives since I could not find a setting for CL film and it appeared to look the best.
Does anyone have experience with this film and have any suggestions for NegaFix settings?

Dear Allen,
there are several places on the web you can look up film types.
For example:
on
http://www.imageaircraft.com.au/DXsim/ you can check the code on the film cartridge.
on
Tom Philo's Homepage under "photo sources and tips" you can find various film codes.
kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.

Kodak CL 200 5093 should be "Kodacolor VR 200", extracted from some not so detailed Google results. It should have been produced until 1986 which fits to the negatives I have taken that year.
The "5093" is missing in the list you can find via Tom Philos homepage.
As I had the same problen (using a Nikon coolscan 5000 ED, SF Photoshop plugin) that I could not find what is written on the old negatives (Kodak CL 200 5093) in Silverfasts Negafix menue I tried various Kodak 200 pofiles and ended up using the "Ektapress Plus 200" profile and increasing the "auto tolerance" and also playing a little with exposure. Maybe a tiny bit blueish but for my feeling still much better than using the VR 200 profile (too much red).
Maybe after 25 years of storage there might be a significant difference of colour "degrading" depending on the individual storage condition.
