Glazing! It can be your passion, but also your nemesis!
Here is the verbage straight from their website as to what it will do for you as a potter:
What is HyperGlaze X?
“HyperGlaze X(tm) (version 10)is easy-to-use glaze software designed for artists who use ceramic materials, HyperGlaze can be used as a database to store clay and glaze recipes and to list raw materials and their analyses. It also has many powerful tools for glaze calculation.
It’s frustrating when you can’t find a certain glaze recipe among all your notes and papers. Or when want to mix up a batch of 18 pounds instead of the 500 grams the recipe yields in your notebook.

Or you can let HyperGlaze do the calcuations for you!

You can even create a new glaze from scratch. The well-written help stack guides you through these steps.
HyperGlaze is simple enough for anyone to use, but its powerful features satisfy even the most demanding glaze chemist.”
Sounds great! But it would require some serious computer time! But…I think I’ll give it a try!
