A computer code for generating line blanketed models of stars with spherically extended atmospheres has been developed. The half-range moment method for radiative transfer in a spherical geometry of Martin et al. (1984) has been incorporated into the computer code ATLAS of Kurucz (1970) in which the line blanketing is treated with opacity distribution functions. This program is appropriate for stars that are cool enough that radiative effects do not destroy hydrostatic equilibrium in the outer atmosphere and warm enough that no significant molecular opacity is present. The program includes energy transport by radiation and convection.
