We present a computing code for modelling energy flux distributions, photometric indices and spectral line profiles of (non-)radially pulsating Main-Sequence stars. ... In the case of slowly rotating stars one can use the zero-rotation approximation to describe stellar pulsations. Such a model was used already by Cugier, Dziembowski & Pamyatnykh (1994) to study nonadiabatic observables of Cephei stars. ...
