ABSTRACT. We show that convergence spaces with continuous maps and metric spaces with contractions, can be viewed as entities of the same kind. Both can be characterized by a "limit function" % which with each filter associates a map % from the underlying set to {ne extended positive real line. Continuous maps and contractions can both be (htacterized as limit function preserving maps.lhe properties common to both the convergence and metric case serve as a basis for tne definition of the category, CAP. We show that CAP is a quasitopos and that, apart from the categories CONV, of convergence spaces, and MET, of metric spaces, it also contains the category AP of approach spaces as nicely embedded subcategorles.
