MCINTYRE Received 10 January 2001 and in revised form 10 May 2001 A topological space has calibre ω (resp., calibre (ω ,ω)) if every point-countable (resp., 1 1 point-finite) collection of nonempty open sets is countable. It has compact-calibre ω1 (resp., compact-calibre (ω ,ω)) if, for every family of uncountably many nonempty open 1 sets, there is some compact set which meets uncountably many (resp., infinitely many) of them. It has CCC (resp., DCCC) if every disjoint (resp., discrete) collection of nonempty open sets is countable. The relative strengths of these six conditions are determined for Moore spaces, regular first countable spaces, linearly-ordered spaces, and arbitrary regular spaces. It is shown that the relative strengths for spaces with point-countable bases are the same as those for Moore spaces, and the relative strengths for linearly-ordered spaces are the same as those for arbitrary monotonically normal spaces. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 54A25. 1. Introduction and basic results. Let X be a topological space. If every uncount- able collection of nonempty open sets is point-countable (resp., point-finite) then X is said to have calibre ω (resp., calibre (ω ,ω)). If for every uncountable collection of 1 1 nonempty open sets there is a compact subset of X meeting uncountably many (resp., infinitely many) of the open sets then X is said to have compact-calibre ω1 (resp., compact-calibre (ω1,ω)
