First let me agree with Josh that "converting" glazes is a waste of =3D
time, to say the least.
As often said glazes belong to families.=3D20
I could not find analysis of Frit 4113--but the Internet said it is a =3D
harder version of 3124, which is a calcium soda boron frit, putting the =3D
glaze in the calcium borate family. As there is barium (which I replace =
=3D
with strontium for safety reasons) it now is in a somewhat more extended =
=3D
family.
Are there plenty of existing c.6 glazes that contain soda, =3D
barium,calcium and boron? Sure.
Is there any reason for "converting" a c.9 glaze? No. Not unless you =3D
buy size 20 clothes and then take them in to a size 12....
Moreover you would need to do a lot of testing which, here, would be a =3D
waste of time. Yes, you would learn--but no more than if you tested new =
=3D
glazes.
As to a calculation program. By all means get one. Think of it as a =3D
sort of vaccuum cleaner: it won't clean the house, but it will make =3D
cleaning the house easier and better. Likewise with a program. It will =
=3D
not make the glazes for you, but, by allowing you to see what is in =3D
glazes, what families they belong to, and so on, your life will be made =3D
that much easier. You need to learn a lot, and a program makes it all =3D
easier.
