In this paper preliminary results are presented based on a study of the low and high resolution ultraviolet spectrum of the peculiar supergiant (post-AGB star) HD101584. By a comparison of the low resolution spectrum (1200-3200ang) with standard stars, the star is classified as an A7I, indicating an effective temperature of 8150 K, where literature quotes spectral type F0I. The Doppler shift of the FeII absorption lines in the high resolution spectrum (2500-3000ang) show a relation with the line optical depth. This suggests an expanding accelerating wind, c.q. pseudo-photosphere. The relation is extended by a factor 10^5 in optical depth by using available data from optical HeI and NI lines. The relation suggests that the radial heliocentric velocity of the star is at least 54.5km/s. From the Halpha line a velocity of 96km/s is measured for the terminal velocity of the wind.
