Abstract

The effects of mass loss and overshooting on the evolution of massive close binaries are discussed with an emphasis on the occurrence of case A of mass transfer. The different stages of mass transfer encountered in the evolution of systems with a primary mass of 20 M and periods resulting in a case A of mass transfer are described.
