Summary:We present the revised "Meudon" model of photon-dominated region (PDR) code, available on the Web under the GNU Public License. General organization of the code is described down to a level that should allow most observers to use it as an interpretation tool with minimal help from our part. Two grids of models, one for low-excitation diffuse clouds and one for dense highly illuminated clouds, are discussed, and some new results on PDR modelization highlighted.
