The main purpose of this paper is to investigate constructively the relationship between proximal convergence, uniform sequential convergence and uniform convergence for sequences of mappings between apartness spaces. It is also shown that if the second space satisfies the Efremovic axiom, then proximal convergence preserves strong continuity. Mathematics Subject Classification: 54E05, 03F60

An Open Coloring Axiom type principle is formulated for uncountable cardinals and is shown to be a consequence of the Proper Forcing Axiom. Several applications are found. We also study dense C∗-embedded subspaces of ω∗, showing that there can be such sets of cardinality c and that it is consistent that ω∗ \ {p} is C∗-embedded for some but not all p ∈ ω∗.
