This calculator is based on the calculator provided by Peter Kleczka, which I can no longer locate on the Internet, unfortunately.

His calculator was based the Dr. Joann Hackos' book, Managing Your Documentation Projects, and a Java based calculator she had previously posted on her Web site: http://www.comtech-serv.com/dependency_calculator.htm.
