Not sure if you're still looking for a fret calculator.  I use wfret.  It downloads really fast, and is super simple to use.  Just go here:http://europa.spaceports.com/~fishbake/  and download it.  It is down under guitar links, and is one of the only links in the middle of the page.  all his text is the same color, even links, so it is kinda hard to find at first.
