Close binary systems should be rather strong x-ray sources if either or both components are massive young stars experiencing intensive outflow of material (Wolf--Rayet stars and OB supergiants). The x rays would emitted by heated gas behind the front of shock waves generated when gas shed by one component impacts either the surface of the other star, its magnetosphere, or gas flowing from the second star. The most likely candidates as x-ray sources among Wolf--Rayet binaries are ..gamma../sup 2/ Vel and V444 Cyg. (AIP)
