This article presents work the author has done to port several of the integrated global models developed in the 1970's and 1980's to widely available personal computers. The goal has been to give teachers and researchers access to these models for educational purposes. The article briefly describes each model to. help a potential user decide which one(s) he or she may wish to obtain from the author.
