Thanks to all who replied re a calculator that could manage durations. In
the end, I decided to go for a physical unit, as I dont have access to and
dont want to install a spreadsheet application on my work machine.

For anyone who is in need of something similar, I did find a small app
called CalcWorks SE which will do the job, but will not accept timecode
format without decimals, so, good in a pinch, but not so good if you are
used to typing timecode.

thanks again :)

Jude
