Extending earlier work by us Badiali et al. [J. Phys. C: Solid State Phys. 16:2183 (1983)] we give further evidence for the usefulness of using spherical boundaries to calculate the bulk and surface properties of the three-dimensional one-component plasma (OCP) by Monte Carlo. Results are reported for the density profile of a "charged" OCP and for the pair distribution function parallel to the surface of an "open" system and of a neutral OCP near a hard wall. The charge fluctuations are calculated.
