VandenBerg (1983a; hereinafter V) has recently computed a large grid of stellar evolutionary sequences from the zero-age main sequence to the base of the red-giant branch (RGB) and carried out extensive comparisons of the associated isochrones with published photometry of globular clusters (GCs). These calculations were based on the latest Los Alamos opacities and, in addition, made use of available model atmospheres for improved surface boundary conditions as well as for the transformation of the stellar models from the (Mbol, log Teff)-to the (Mv, B-V)-plane. In general, very encouraging agreement of the predicted and observed morphologies of cluster C-M diagrams was obtained.
