Ok, I know that glass doesn't sag (perceptibly), but does anyone have a
source for a load/span calculator for glass?

Choose glass from the materials list.

Again, pretty neat software. Thanks. It is in my bookmarks.

Only concern is it provides sag but not breaking strength. I have
used 1/4" glass panels for some 16"x12" curio cabinet shelves but no
weight to speak of. I also built a small A/V cabinet years ago that
had 16" x 20" 1/4" glass shelves holding some pretty beefy stereo amps
and tuners (20 pounds+); but load points were cloe to the ends of the
shelfs. In both cases, I talked to the local glass shop and they gave
me size and strength guidance.
