Scientific paper

The initial stellar mass function and the mass ratio distribution for binaries is usually constructed by using a mass-spectral type-luminosity class relation. This relation for massive stars changes if stellar wind mass loss is included. The influence of stellar wind mass loss on the determination of the IMF is outlined. The mass ratio distributions for O type and Wolf-Rayet binaries are discussed and compared to theoretical binary computations including mass loss by stellar wind. An estimate is made for the mass loss from the system during Roche lobe overflow.
