Final secondary mass as a function of the initial orbital period under various kinds of evaporative winds. The squares represent the secondary masses at Hubble age, with filled and open ones corresponding to RL-filling and underfilling systems, respectively. The crosses represent the beginning of runaway mass transfer. The colors show the magnitude of the central degeneracy parameter ﹩{\psi }_{{\rm{c}}}﹩ of the secondary stars.
