This series of papers comprises a systematic exploration of the hypothesisthat the far ultraviolet radiation from star clusters and elliptical galaxiesoriginates from extremely hot horizontal-branch (HB) stars and their post-HBprogeny. This first paper presents an extensive grid of calculations of stellarmodels from the Zero Age Horizontal Branch through to a point late in post-HBevolution or a point on the white dwarf cooling track. We use the term `ExtremeHorizontal Branch' (EHB) to refer to HB sequences of constant mass that do notreach the thermally-pulsing stage on the AGB. These models evolve after corehelium exhaustionComment: Paper is uuencoded compressed PostScript file.
