Have a look here for the calculator:
http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/spokecalc/
And here for the A,B,C,D etc help:
http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/spokecalc/help2.html - edit - see the 'help' button on that page (will show you how to measure all the A,B,C etc) - linky doesn't take you to it for some reason.....
And then google your rim name/tpye and 'ERD'

You will need to take measurements of both hubs as lots of rear hubs have different measurements than the front. Also you need to measure the ERD (as x-600se mentioned).
I have built so many wheels where the front uses 182mm and the rear 188mm.

Stidds,
I followed your how to guide on here :daumenhoch:
Wot would i need to do differently to lace 4x?

All you need to do to lace 4x is instead is lace the spoke over 3 spokes and under 1, instead of over 2 and under 1 for 3x.
