Libor Stolc - is there an English translation of your site? 2005-05-17 - By Gray, Dave
Back
I found the page at http://web.iol.cz/pcdesign/. It is in Czech though, but
click on the "Interior Design Tools" link at top right.
Give it a whirl.
HTH.
Cheers
Dave

This sounds interesting, so I Googeld you. I found your site,
http://www.estav.cz/ but I can only pick up enough words for it to seem
interesting, not enough for me to understand what's going on (sorry!), so
I'd like to know whether there is an English translation online.
Thanks I Advance!
