Progress in understanding B-type pulsators has been reviewed at several recent meetings (e.g. Dziembowski, 1993, 1995; Moskalik, 1995). Not much happened afterwards. Owing to further improvement in the stellar opacity calculations (Iglesias and Rogers 1996), the theoretical pulsation-instability domain in the upper Main Sequence is now more precisely determined. In the next section I will compare the predicted domain with the positions of various B-type pulsators in the H-R diagram.
