Has anybody out there heard of or used any of the direct R-12 replacement fluids?

I stumbled onto a post regarding what was needed to swap an R-12 system to the current R-134a...this guy used a susbstance called "FreeZone" claiming it to be a direct replacement. Loading "FreeZone" and "Freon" into Google brought me to a couple of sites that sell FreeZone along with about half-a-dozen other direct R-12 replacements. It's claimed that these direct replacements can be used in an R-12 system with no modifications other than evacuating all the old R-12. These fluids are also claimed to be compatible with the mineral oil of an R-12 system. The pricing seems to be reasonable for the material (certainly when compared to the cost of retrofitting for 134a or buying R-12).

Any Comments????
