  The liquid-gas phase transition in finite nuclei is studied in a heated
liquid-drop model where the drop is assumed to be in thermodynamic equilibrium
with the vapour emanated from it. Changing pressure along the liquid-gas
coexistence line of the systems, symmetric or asymmetric, suggests that the
phase transition is a continuous one. This is further corroborated from the
study of the thermal evolution of the entropy at constant pressure.
