happens and why it works. For that you should check
SIMPLE SHADOWS. Tables are provided, and formulae are available in CALCULATING
SHADOWS, and you can download REFERENCE-SPREADSHEETS.XLS if you wish, and the main page has a link to a free or low cost Excel (.xls)
viewer..

You also may wish to access the spreadsheets on this web site,
this link here is the reference page for the main book and has updates and
other good stuff, and it has those links. Also the
main web page has some links for software you may like to access.
