The study of X-ray binaries has made great progress with the advent in the past few years of a number of very capable X-ray astronomy missions. These are reviewed, for example, by Bradt et al 1992, and a set of recent relevant papers in Makino and Mitsuda, 1997. For example, ASCA has allowed a significant increase in sensitivity and spectral resolution in 0.5-10 keV X-rays (Tanaka et al 1994). Many recent Compton/GRO results on X-ray binaries are reviewed in the proceedings of the Second Compton Symposium (Fichtel et al 1994). Another source of recent results from analysis of data from several satellite missions is the proceedings of the Evolution of X-ray Binaries (Holt & Day, 1994). In this short paper, the emphasis is on guiding the reader to some relevant literature.
