Do you happen to have a website for that or do I need to look it up.  If
it's a good learning tool, it's probably worth a look.  I have a simulator
for my Oceanic computer which shows tissue loading as well.  I must admit
that I have not considered it as a learning tool so much as a testing tool,
but I'm not at all sure it would give me the same degree of understanding
that studying the tables, and computers and assorted absorption theories
and, of course, discussions by others have.
