Abstract
A six-parameter family of five-dimensional black hole solutions is con structed which are labeled by their mass, two asymptotic scalar fields and three charges. It is shown that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is exactly marched, arbitrarily far from extremality, by a simple but my sterious duality-invariant extension of previously derived formulae fo r the number of D-brane states in string theory.
