The Clusters of Michał B±kowski
Welcome to my modest homepage. I hope you can find something interesting here. The clusters of mine look best in 800x600 resolution. It is also recommended to have more than 256 colors.

I wasn't planning any new things to be added to Super Glazier 4.1, but I've found some very nice ideas and I decided to include them in version 4.1. So, version RC4 is available now. Many fixes. One new searching method - by default turned off because of its youth, but I can already tell that it improves search results very much. Additionally grouping has been improved. I have found also some minor bugs and of course I have fixed them.

For a long time there was a silence here on my clusters. But, it doesn't mean nothing has happened. There is a new Super Glazier 4.0 beta. There were many changes and fixes. Algorithm is now much faster.
Version 4.0 of Super Glazier is the last but one version of this product. I plan one more release (4.1) with some additions:
  • reading data from text files and databases,
  • additional field for description of each glass or sheet,
  • possibility of choice of standard formats while adding sheets.
Later Super Glazier will become a program "to cut". Not only for glass branch, but also for stone, wood and metal. New application will also provide customer database and magazine.

I have fixed some bugs in Super Glazier. There is also something new... Super Stone Cutter. The program is similar to Super Glazier, is using the same agorithm, but for stone-cutting branch. At this moment, the program is in alpha stage, and it is exposed here only and only for testing purposes. If you have some comments, ideas, then this is the the best moment to tell me about them. Both programs are available to download in Download cluster.

3D Animated Flags by 3DFlags.com The very first opening of my clusters english version. My English is not the best, but fortunately I know someone who copes with English a lot better than I do. Przemek Klęsk, is the one I'm talking about, he translated my clusters from Polish to English, for what I am very thankful.
There is a little Polish flag in the top right corner. Clicking on it switches the current cluster to Polish equivalent. The flag comes from a really fine service 3DFlags.com.
