This paper is concerned with coalgebras over commutative rings. Traditionally coalgebras arose by the observation that the dual of an algebra over a field does not have a multiplication but a comultiplication, mapping from the object into its tensor square. Replacing the ground field by a commutative ring increases the technical difficulties and this paper explores this in the context of the `Com' and `Cotensor' functors which are dual, in an appropriate sense, to the conventional Hom and Tensor product functors. Unfortunately the paper contains a number of commutative diagrams which have been rendered completely illegible by the typesetting process. It is possible to deduce the correct appearance of these diagrams from the context in most cases. But readers may wish to bear in mind the lack of proof-reading that this demonstrates.
