Divide that by 3 and you get triplets.
Eg. 112 BPM
60 / 112 = 0.536, x 1000 = 536 ms
536 / 3 = 179 ms
Clear as mud?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Actually Austin, You could simplify this by combining two of your steps. 60 divided by the BPM then multiplied by 1000, is the same thing as dividing 60,000 by the BPM, thus saving you a step. And yes, if divide that number by three you get eighth note triplets, but if you are looking for quarter note triplets it would be easier to divide 40,000 by the BPM like stated above.
All of these are simple on a basic calulator and you don't have to run any other programs. There are also charts in most of the studio related books. I know for a fact that "The Mixing Engineers Handbook" has one, and I would recommend that book regardless of the chart.
Hope this helps.
