Using the full temperature-dependent extended Thomas-Fermi formalism, we calculate the equation of state of inhomogeneous nuclear matter for a force that has been fitted to essentially all nuclear masses, and has the correct properties of neutron matter. Both droplet and bubble phases are considered, under the conditions appropriate to a collapsing star. We examine the relevance of the choice of effective mass to the temperature. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
