We have studied with the SEI method (Sobolev approximation plus Exact Integration of the transfer equation) seven hot stars, five belonging to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and two to the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), which have been observed with IUE in high resolution. We present preliminary results of the work, i.e. the terminal velocities and the optical depth of the P Cygni profile. An evaluation of qiM has been done, as well as a comparison with previous work.
