Hi Clayarters,
Just thought I'd let you know that at last there is a Windows version
of HyperGlaze. This is a major rewriting and update. Check the
website at members.aol.com/hyperglaze/ for more information.
For those like Ron Roy who are focused on thermal expansion, the new
version allows entering your own thermal expansion coefficients, or
using the ones installed.

For those who don't know Richard, he is one of the grandparents of the
list. I did a quick search of the archives, he has posted a few times
this year, but his last big bunch of posts seems to be in 1996. He and
Joe along with a few others started the list way back when 93? 92? as
just a group of email addresses.
Hyperglaze works a bit different than some of the other glaze software.
I have an early DOS version of Insight, Hyperglaze on the old one piece
MACs was slower but much easier to use. It had capabilities that more
matched my needs. Now I am probably just used to it. Insight has grown
more friendly and there are plenty of other programs out there
including Frog Pond's Glazemaster, and Matrix. I am now finding that I
spread my use out between a couple of the packages.
I am excited about the upgrade. The original Hyperglaze really fit my
needs, and is easy to use. It is now hard to get my lab manager to
install it in Mac OS 9.
I don't know if any of these glaze software people is making enough
money from their labors to pay for the development, but I am glad they
are doing it.
I was working on a simple web based program about a year ago but
stopped. You can see it and use it to go from formula to recipe at:
http://falcon.tamucc.edu/~lkatz/gc2beta1/input.htm
It does not let you choose your ingredients,or make any choices other
than setting the unity formula, but it does figure out the KNaO mess so
you get the proper amount of soda spar and potash spar to match the
unity.

HyperGlaze in a new version and running on Windows, I
was amazed and delighted when I heard this good news.
Having reviewed most of the glaze calculation software
over the past 12 years for Ceramics Monthly and
Ceramics Technical. I've found HyperGlaze to be one
of the easiest to use and in many ways the most
comprehensive. For people just getting started it
comes with an excellent, concise introduction to glaze
chemistry called Unity Explained.
Now that it has a Windows version I've got a copy for
myself and I'm buying one for the college studio. The
program installed perfectly, and I can easily import
my entire recipe collection that I’ve developed over
the past decade.

Hi all!
Just wanted to mention that the new hyperglaze is great! A lot of new
features but still has the graphs portion which lets you see the glaze
amounts visually and adjust by raising the bars and lowering. Richard
Burkett has been wonderful about responding to my email queries as
well.

Hi Darlene,
Am I correct that this new version is meant for PC's?
Where can I get a copy and how much is it?
