Calculations Software

[Duuuuug]

Is there a software package that is recognized or listed (not sure about the correct terms) that performs a variety of electrical calculations.
I don't mind spending a few bucks, but I just don't know where to look.
Mikeholt has a Calculations book/DVD package for $600.00.
I would think that a software package exists, or is there just too many variables.

There are many. What type(s) of calculations did you have in mind? Voltage Drop? Short Circuit? Fault Current Coordination? Arc Flash? Conductor or Overcurrent Device Selection? Ampacity of Underground Installations? Load Flow?

I started out just looking at Voltage Drop and there are simple calculators for this all over the web, but they have all these disclaimers (which is understood for just getting things off the internet).
All the things you mentioned would be nice to have in an all-inclusive package, and based on that statement I can see this package getting huge in capability and costs.
I need to think a little more to try and narrow the scope of what I am asking.
Do you have any names of reputable software companies to recommend that would give me a place to start and see what they offer?
