We have developed a new procedure for the generation of a planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF), improving on previous work (Mendez et al. 1993 A&A 275, 534). The procedure is based, as before, on an exponential central star mass distribution, on H-burning post-AGB evolutionary tracks, and on the avoidance of nebular models for the calculation of nebular fluxes. We have added new post-AGB evolutionary tracks (Blöcker 1995 A&A 299, 755) and introduced the following improvements:
