Abstract
We discuss the wind-compressed disk (WCD) model and its ability to produce disks in the outflows from rapidly rotating stars. In particular, we discuss the recently discovered non-radial force components that may inhibit the formation of the disk and present preliminary investigations of the ionization distribution and associated line profiles in the WCD model.
