Recent observations with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite show that two very different types of hot stars have stellar winds: not only do the young, massive OB stars (the subjects of our discussion in this symposium, so far) undergo high-velocity mass-loss, but so also do hot evolved, solar mass stars, among them the central star of planetary nebulae. In this talk, I would like to show ultraviolet spectra of two central stars, the nuclei of NGC 6826 and Abell 78, and to describe how the characteristics of these spectra may be used to derive information concerning winds in these stars and in hot stars in general.
