---------------------------------------

Please Note: Retirement time is here! Several years ago I announced the following plan to ease out of supporting GlazeMaster. I wrote that on January 1 of each year (starting January 1, 2015) I would reduce the price of GlazeMaster by $10.00. One January 1, 2018 when the price becomes zero I will remove the requirement to enter an installation code AND I will open up the underlying FileMaker files so that anyone with FileMaker knowledge can modify the program to his/her desire! I have now done that! The runtime (non-modifiable) version will continue to be available on this web site for the foreseeable future. Of course,  I will now stop supporting the program except for answering “easy” questions. The problem with the Mac version of GlazeMaster has now been solved. If you are running Sierra, High Sierra,  Mohave or Catalina be sure to download version 3.03 instead of 3.02.
