I have used PDA's extensively in my former job. It is fairly easy to export
or copy and paste GlazeMaster recipes to Pocket Excel and then import it
into your PDA. You can either do single recipes in Pocket Word or long
lists of recipes in Pocket Excel and then format it with a column showing a
check that you have completed each chemical in your batch.

It would be rather time consuming though to set up an Pocket Excel program
that would do the calulations, but it could be done.

Use a Dell Axim that came with all those programs, before that I used a Palm
Pilot.

Find it much easier though to just print out GlazeMasters Recipes and check
them off from the printed page.

Developed a number of different databases and used spreadsheets in my
previous work and used computers to help make our work easier and faster but
sometimes it is better to do things manually.

Would hate to drop my little expensive PDA in a glaze bucket..........
