A method of light curve analysis is described which allows the study of an eccentric partially-eclipsing system containing one component possessing an extended atmosphere. The effects of transparency as well as limb-darkening are taken into account. Preliminary results obtained for the Wolf-Rayet eclipsing binary HD 5980 in the SMC are presented.
