My version of Windows choked on some non-standard part of it.  I tried out
the
web version. The difficulty is that it takes only one input parameter, star
mass, and generates everything else from that. I don't have an easy way to
correlate that to the spectral type.
I am looking at Gillett's
World-Building<http://www.amazon.com/World-Building-Science-Fiction-Writing-Stephen/dp/0898797071>book
 which appears to be fairly close to what I'm looking for. One of the
reviewers mentioned that he had put the equations in a spreadsheet and liked
playing with the results. That sounds like what I'd like to do.
