for any archimedean$f$-ring $a$ with unit in whichbreak$awedge(1-a)leq 0$ for all $ain a$, the following are shown to beequivalent:1. $a$ is isomorphic to the $l$-ring ${mathfrak z}l$ of allinteger-valued continuous functions on some frame $l$. 2. $a$ is a homomorphic image of the $l$-ring $c_{bbb z}(x)$of all integer-valued continuous functions, in the usual sense,on som...
