ON ALMOST PRECOVERS AND ALMOST PREENVELOPES*

Let C be a class of R-modules closed under isomorphisms and finite direct sums. It is first shown that the finite direct sum of almost C-precovers is an almost C-precover and the direct sum of an almost C-cover and a weak C-cover is a weak C-cover. Then the notion of almost C-preenvelopes is introduced and studied.
