The effects of doping and pressure on the superconducting transition temperature ({ital T}{sub {ital c}}) of Lu(Ni{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}{ital A}{sub {ital x}})BC with {ital A}=Cu and V have been investigated. {ital T}{sub {ital c}} was found to increase with Cu doping, but decrease with V doping, and pressure was observed to suppress all samples, doped or undoped, examined at a constant rate of {approximately}{minus}0.17{plus_minus}0.3 K/GPa. The observations are not consistent with the predicted Fermi surface of LuNiBC residing at a density-of-states peak, and the pressure effect on {ital T}{sub {ital c}} cannot be understood in terms of shift in the Fermi surface alone. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
