Specker spaces and their absolutes. II (Q1918961)

[For Part I see Topology Appl. 72, No. 3, 259-271 (1996; Zbl 0856.54039).] From the authors' abstract: A Tikhonov space \(X\) is Specker if for each \(f\in C(X)\), \(f\neq 0\), there is a clopen set \(V\) over which \(f\) is both non-zero and constant. Algebraic conditions are presented under which the absolute of a compact Specker space is Specker. It is shown that this is so for all compact almost \(P\)-spaces, continuing the study of the question of when the absolute of a Specker space is Specker.
