  We review the results of our analysis of the OGLE LMC eclipsing binaries
(Mazeh, Tamuz & North 2006), using EBAS -- Eclipsing Binary Automated Solver,
an automated algorithm to fit lightcurves of eclipsing binaries (Tamuz, Mazeh &
North 2006).
  After being corrected for observational selection effects, the set of
detected eclipsing binaries yielded the period distribution and the frequency
of all LMC short-period binaries, and not just the eclipsing systems.
  Somewhat surprisingly, the period distribution is consistent with a flat
distribution in log P between 2 and 10 days. The total number of binaries with
periods shorter than 10 days in the LMC was estimated to be about 5000. This
figure led us to suggest that (0.7 +- 0.4)% of the main-sequence A- and B-type
stars are found in binaries with periods shorter than 10 days. This frequency
is substantially smaller than the fraction of binaries found by small Galactic
radial-velocity surveys of B stars.
