  A method for incorporating the effect of the resonant continuum into
  Hartree-Fock+BCS equations is proposed. The method is applied for the case of
a neutron-rich nucleus calculated with a Skyrme-type force plus a zero-range
pairing interaction and the results are compared with
  Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations. It is shown that the widths of resonant
states have an important effect on the pairing properties of nuclei close to
the drip line.
