should be pretty easy to reproduce the math in something like Gnu Octave.
y = y0 + x * tan(theta) - g*x^2/(2*(v*cos(theta))^2)
gives height Y at distance X for initial velocity v and firing angle
theta. etc etc. there are heuristics for approximating air friction
(ignored in the above equation), see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory_of_a_projectile#Trajectory_of_a_projectile_with_air_resistance
for more detailed math...
