If all you need is to do a few calculations, go here:

	http://www.brucelindbloom.com/

Click the Calc button, then the Companing Calculator link. Type a value into
the L* box, click the L* button, and the other values will be updated. The
Input and Output radio buttons aren't needed--they just control what's shown
on the graph.
